inspection hammer
I watch a lot of Japanese Railway programs (like the ones on NHK World) as well as Japanese crafts and technologies. Japanese trains has the highest accident free records of all nations on the planet. One tool that the skilled mechanics use a lot for inspection is the lowly brass hammer. They have hammers of different design for just about everything. I am in the process of finding a true Japanese brass hammer like the ones used by the trains and railway engineers. A brass inspection hammer is indefensible for finding loose fasteners.
Oh, there is an excellent video on NHK recently about Toto's washlet development and evolution. It is on a series called J-Tech. And yes, they use a hammer to inspect the hi-tech porcelain toilet base that takes 48 hours to make.
Here it is - the video shelf live is just about over so better watch it right away.

Your local model railroad / railway shop will have a small, high quality hammer. It has interchangeable tips to the head, including brass, rubber, domed & tapered. I think it will do what you want. Not expensive.

Because using hammer to look for loose fastener is one lost art, and very much alive and well in countries that craftsmen pride themselves. I have no idea why this thread was moved. The Toto video is extremely interesting for some that never take for granted the design, evolution, dogged pursuit of engineering and atheistic excellence.

Sorry that I didn't see you post just until now. I appreciate the thoughtfulness. Still I feel that relegating it to off topic is a downgrade and heavy-handed as few bother to read there. I like to keep an open mind, and anything of design, engineering, science, craft, and workmanship are all interesting to me. And yes, I have a Toto but I didn't know all the subtle designs and history until this 45 minutes video.

Very similar - actually this one: https://www.qualityhobbyshop.com/hob...cel-50500.html
I think the 4oz one you showed would be fine for MINI use.

While on the Off-Topic area, there has been discussions taking place on opening up the area. The Corvette Forum, also an IB product, has a pretty lively OT area. A person wants to rant and rave (why let Facebook have all the fun) they can go to the OT area. Want to stick to only MINIs, that's OK we will keep the ranting and raving out of the other sections/subforums.
