Or it could be the steel they used being possibly more brittle or prone to breakage.
Could be the forging process too that may have contributed to the hammers being brittle and breaking off.
Could simply have been the screw backed out.... I've had that happen to me. Screw backed out, hammer fell off and I didn't notice until I got to the next station that I was missing a hammer.
