I recommend a drilling hammer, which is a fairly heavy hammer with a short handle. It's easy to control and much safer to use with a punch (they were specifically designed to use with punches in the old days of hand drilling stone). Mine is made by Estwing. Also, I have a hammer that is a 4lb sledge with the handle cut off so I can use it with one hand. That thing get used all the time for driving out bearing races or other heavy jobs.

For fab and restoration I’ve got basically the same. The steel faced deadblow is good when you have raw steel fab that may chew up the face of a plastic deadblow. Add a 4lb engineers hammer, a 10lb sledge and a 12oz 2 side rubber soft face for finishing work and we’re good to go. We ’re doing metal forming that you guys aren’t so we need just a few more.

I probably have 30 hammers for blacksmithing, mechanics, and construction. One handy hammer for driving large punches, aligning holes with bars and swinging in confined spaces is a drilling hammer about 3lbs because of the short handle. I also use a 2 inch belt sander, but an angle grinder will also work, for dressing the hammer faces when needed.

Snap on makes some nice hammers. I love the grip on them and they are balanced really well. My only complaint with them, is the excessive amount of flashing from the molds. Both the plastic and the rubber over mold. A good razor blade will take it off easily but that’s not the kind of fit and finish I expect from snappy. Otherwise they’re fantastic hammers.
@PDPIE10292 жыл бұрын
Just got a 40oz and yes, I completely agree with this. Not like it’s trash from the flashing but it’s a little bothersome when choking up on it. Like you said though, razor blade and it’s all good.

Lol I just used that HF 4lb sledge last week with some wood to drive in one of my CVs that was being too stubborn about going in using the CV as a slide hammer technique (worked great on one side but not the second). Tried holding the CV in, the wood on the end of the axle and getting a good blow and that didn't quite work so I had to get my roommate on the hammer real quick while I held the CV in and the wood. Worked like a charm. Granted in the future I should probably get a good plastic deadblow so I don't have to worry about marring up the axle shaft and can save having to have 3 hands for that job. I'm a still aspiring home mechanic so I'm learning more and more every job.

@Blazer02LS4 жыл бұрын
Steel/iron hammers can easily damage parts like brake rotors or axle shafts because they are as hard or harder. The brass hammer however will not damage them because it is softer metal. The dead blows work for that but they hit sort of soft so you lose the shock impact of a metal hammer. I also have a couple lead hammers for those times when I just need heavy weight in a smaller size.
