Drawbar Hammer for my mill boys
speaking of double peen, does anyone remember the "double dick dude" of reddit who turned out to be a fraud?
They forgot "water"
Some of these I can't even fathom what they are used for.
I"m going out on a limb and risk the engineers hammer is the tool used when everything else has already failed to separate, combine, detache, attache, couple, decouple, split or join.
Engineers hammer is used to smack things and see what happens. You're not meant to drive nails or shape metal with it, but it's used to do inspections.
For example, a structural engineer inspecting a truss bridge might go and smack every stringer or strut near the rivet to the beam to see what happens. If the strut jiggles a bit, then the rivet has loosened and might need to be replaced.
If a bit of steel is heavily rusted, the engie might belt it really hard to see if it breaks due to deep corrosion, or if it's just surface rust.
The sound you get from smacking a bit of steel can also tell you about the material, good steel will bong and reverb, bad steel will be dull and not reverb.
And today I learned.
Missing so many hammers, smh my head.
- wedge hammer
- stretching hammer
- detail hammer
- angle hammer
- seaming hammer
- polishing hammer
- slate hammer
- slate restoration hammer
I'm probably missing a whole bunch, these were just the ones I used as a roofer.
Forreal?
It, uhh... It looks like your double peen is made of plastic. Are you sure this is something to brag about?
The best one imo: the carpenter's hammer
Wikipedia translates it to claw hammer, but the built and functions are very different.
No, these are electrician's hammers
Anything is a hammer to an electrician, including their fists.
100%. I ain't getting off this ladder to get a hammer, I'll beat that sumbitch with my drill battery if I have to
Vice grips for pliers
Pliers for a wrench
Wrench for a hammer
Hammer's everything elseA song for that guy:
Or their eyes
Truly is one of the most versatile tools to own.
Remember, every 27th customer gets a ball-peen hammer free!
At the hardware store?
I've heard they have matching salt and pepper shaker?
Stop! Hammer time!
I like you
And then there is this https://youtu.be/q_ZhgOlxX_A?t=167
TIL that finishing a shaped metal sheet by pounding it on a pedestal is called "planishing" and said pedestal is called a "planishing stake." I've seen it done I just never thought to ask what it was called, I guess.
Here's me just taking whatever is closest.
Every 27th customer gets a ball peen hammer free!
Just be careful when it comes to the automatic circumcisers.
Missing banhammer.
Why is it called a ball peen hammer?
Cause it's used to hammer your balls and peen.
I always wondered what the ball peen hammer is for.
My time has come.
I'm what the aerospace industry calls a "surface enhancement engineer." A fancy way of calling me a peener. I mostly work with CNC air blast shot peening machines but the principle is essentially the same as a ball peen hammer.
Basically, hitting metal with hard ball causes little dimples to form on the surface of your work piece. Hit it a shit load of times and you get dimples all over. At the end of the day all those dimples help prevent stress fractures from forming.
Same for Soft face & double peen.
Soft face is exactly what it says, it's got soft rubber faces, basically just a shrunk down rubber mallet. Use it on things you don't want to leave marks on.
Double peen is basically just a soft face except one side is like a hard epoxy like material. Harder than the rubber side, still softer than a metal head would be.
Rip my straight peen after coming out
double peen
Heh
Now I'm thinking of a hammer tier list. Milled face framing hammer is clearly S-tier because you get to leave your mark
Dead blow? I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
Fun hammer fact: it's called dead blow not because it's supremely powerful or anything, but because the head is usually full of loose material like BBs, and it causes the hammer to not bounce back as much, kinda like throwing a hackey sack at the floor
I have a straight peen most of the time.
That must be awkward when you're walking around.
Tag yourself, I'm rip.
