Bumps on my 78’s rear tub/fenders?

Back on the road last night after a busy afternoon. Additional input, moral support and most importantly, parts cleaning from Kiwidog :grinpimp:(much appreciated). Nothing seems to be smoking or falling off yet! Ordered a new 16 oz. ball peen from Snapon - Bluepoint branded (USA) and a little...

I’m not much of a hammer guy. I have a 3 lb engineers hammer that I use for pretty much everything except hammering nails. But I thought I would try out the ball peen thing. Found this website where I got 5 Vaughans for about $62 + shipping: 32 oz, 24 oz, 16 oz, 12 oz, 8 oz. thought it was a decent deal.

It also appears that O.H. Industrial is the OEM supplier for TOYOTA hammers, and this is a 1 lb hammer.

Ok , that's what I thought . I did some research and found the HK-15 or -10 is the right size , just have to find someone that sells it reasonable and will ship it . I got a full set of the dark-handle laquered wood drivers for my toolbox to replace the Swiss made Matco ones - they are worn out...

Seems the only hammers thread?

So after yesterday’s attempt at a bit of sheet metal work I realized I need more than a ballpein hammer and scrap steel to be effecitve.

Looking for any suggestions on the basic hammer/dolly to buy for future efforts.

Do I really need a full set or is there a good brand to look at?

Cheers

Did you decide on anything?

wrong thread

^ W, those are nice, what end are you using for beating on sheet metal?

Yes, local availability had a hand in the choice, got the 4 pack on sale and added a dolly to it (also on sale)

Oops, thought this was the show off your tools thread!

But I probably need to get some decent body hammers anyway.

a number of years ago i was at an estate sale for a lifelong railroad man…
he liked hammers.

this video was after two days of people buying out some of his hammer collection.

his son said this room and several other storage containers were full…

i bought i think about a dozen out of the hammer room that day

Nice stuff, now I need to learn a new skill

 

[subzali]

I realize I never posted a picture of the vaughans after they arrived. They’re pretty nice. It’s been about 3 years and the 16oz gets the most use though I think I’ve used them all at least once for something. Got a set for my dad too; he likes made in USA stuff.

Gotta get yourselves a real hammer!

Adjustable hammer FTW

Actually as I said in the first post. This thing has driven everything from tent stakes to oil seals

Even the simplest tool deserves a Thread!

Actually two of my favorite, most well-loved tools below. Bought the 3+ lb BFH years ago in a pinch when our old wooden handle let go...the weight, handle, and short throw make it perfect under the truck and on the bench, love it.
And of course the old indispensable plastic/rubber combo hammer. I probably use it more than I should.
