When testing the triceps reflex, the broad rubber side of the reflex hammer is used. This is because the broad rubber side provides a more appropriate and effective stimulus for eliciting the triceps reflex compared to the other parts (the pointed rubber side is often used for more precise or different reflex tests, and the metallic tip has other uses not related to the triceps reflex in standard reflex - testing procedures).
