Hammers and anvils (鎚鉆: the first character has the fanqie zh- + [zh]ui [=chuí]; the Kaosheng says: 'An iron-forging hammer'; it is also written 槌 or 椎, all being acceptable. The second character has the fanqie j- + [y]an [=zhān]; the Shuowen says: 'A zhān is an iron clamp or tongs used to hold objects'; it is formed with 'metal' [金] and an abbreviated zhān [占] as phonetic; the sūtra text writes qián [鉗] with gān [甘], which means an iron cangue and is not what is used here).
