A couple of these are wrong

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The double peen is wrong. That’s just a soft face mallet.

Where's the hammer they use to bonk the dead pope to make sure he's dead?

Came here looking for a masonry hammer as I need to buy one and don't know what it is. I still don't, unless it's "brick".

Cool list.

Never seen an electrician use an "electricians hammer", most use a framing.

Also missing the Form Setter Hammer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I use a claw hammer.

Sometimes I use a stubby claw hammer, which is also missing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How do you use it? I've never found an application.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I work in maintenance for a hospital trust, we’re a small team and everyone does everything. I use it for putting rawl plugs in, cause I can carry it in my pocket and it doesn’t need much force to put one of them in.

Where’s the glass hammer?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Being in auto body repair, I love this chart. Seeing how other trades use hammers is just fascinating, since it's kind of like a peek into their world.

I'd never have known that a drywall hammer had such a nice blade at the end of it, or that an electrician's hammer would look so unique.

That said, I'd like to have seen a pick hammer. It comes in short and long varieties, which we use to take out high spots from beneath a car panel while also gradually shrinking the metal in that area, before switching sides and tapping it back down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I choose sledge. I recently broke up an area of concrete that took 8m³ to dispose of it all. Sledgehammer was a very useful tool to have during this.

I tried with a pickaxe at first because I thought it was very thin and would break easily, while this was true for a tiny section the majority was much thicker. At least it came in handy for breaking up the compacted soil.

Missing a lead mallet

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Where E-Peen?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Dead blow hammer to do the deed and framing hammer to pin it on some random idiot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ball Peen and Dead Blow are my EDC hammers but I also usually keep a good ol claw hammer near by just in case.

Rock. I love bolting climbing routes and cleaning up new crags.

Edit: actually my favorite hammer ever, like seriously I fucking love this hammer, is what I call a machinist hammer. Because its what I used as a machinist, and machinists can make in a hour with a little bar stock, and just works the best for machinist work. Its a double peen( the double peen in the picture isn't accurate) made from all steel. The weight and balance is so perfect for me, it feels so natural to use, unlike any hammer I've ever used. I still love my rock hammer tho

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

That double peen is soft face, harder rubber on the left, greenish softer rubber on the right. I have one just like it. I think it came with a mesh organizer to hammer the corner clips all the way in when assembling.

Sorry to disappoint, and this will sound weird but I'm not comfortable posting something unique that I genuinely value. I'd rather post a dick pic. I wasn't trying to point out that the macro missed something or got something wrong(but the picture of the two peen is a dual face soft blow). I guess I can't define machinists hammers because they're whatever material and shape you want it to be. I didn't actually didn't make mine, I just found it in the bottom of a box of 100+ hammers of every variation you can imagine.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah post peen pic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I haven't owned, tack, framing, electrician, blacksmith, chasing, power, rock, and scaling. I have failed. I must do better.

I used to collect a lot for auto body stuff. Odd hammer head shapes make handy dollys for shaping metal in weird places.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm feeling fancy, so Brass.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Brass because it looks like gold :p

(I like shiny things)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

If I'd known it was hammer time I would've stopped.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Straight peen and rubber, bushing optional

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Ball peen clearly.

Why is the welding hand funny?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

If I were to guess it serves two purposes:

  1. To dampen the reaction when absolutely wailing on some piece of shit steel that warped
  2. Accidentally getting welded to things

Edit: I looked it up! Number 1 is correct! Also, they're used to remove slag

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe something to do with insulating your hand from the heat maybe? But then again maybe not because don't welders usually use gloves anyways?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A metal handle doesnt burn or melt.

I will now schedule a delivery of 40,000 of them. I don't care if you don't want that many - or if you wanted me to stop at 30,000. You're getting all of them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like a fantasy to me.

Where's MC ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

There's at least two things electricians, mechanics, engineers, and blacksmiths have in common:

  1. They have their own hammers.
  2. They do not, I repeat not, appreciate getting hit with their hammers.
[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Every 27th customer gets a ball peen hammer free!
