Any peen is a great peen

[–] EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] shaserlark@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

Double peen but soft face? Should both peens be hard? Or what makes it a true double peen? Sorry I’m just an IT nerd I have no idea about hammering.

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

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 20 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I've always assumed it was some sort of ornate, ceremonial hammer made of pure gold that they keep in a special chamber, but now that you mentioned it, I really hope it's just a claw hammer they borrow from the maintenance guy.

It gives +100% damage to undead creatures and blesses all in a 3M radius

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Wait, is that really it? Because that's fucking awesome.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

“Hey Frank, can we borrow your hammer? We need to see if the pope is dead.”
“Did you submit a maintenance ticket for it? I don’t see it on my task list.”
“Oh, no, but I figured if I just called you…”
“Gotta have a ticket for it; I get in trouble if I spend too much time on other things.”

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.

[–] Coldcell@sh.itjust.works 5 points 17 hours ago

Sounds like a fantasy to me.

Wtf do you do with that thing

Looks like it breaks into bank vaults on the regular

[–] terminhell@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

What evere requires....extra 'persuasion'. I legit use it for projects around the house. Last use was few weeks ago. Aided in breaking up my porch cement slab. Sometimes it's used for erasing hard drives at work. Sometimes as an axe replacement for old lumber etc.

It's a 20lb head. The original wooden handle broke one day. Had a welder friend fix the handle XD. So it's another 10lbs of ~1.5inch construction grade rebar. It will out last me. Hoping to make it an heirloom.

Oh my god. Would you look at all that stuff?

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 13 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

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

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

A couple of these are wrong

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

Estwing 22oz smooth faced ripping/framing hammer. Bought one about 30 years ago when I was doing roofing and framing work. Still use it all the time. Comfortable and durable, great for construction and demolition work. Does a nice job digging out stubborn nails. If I could only have one hammer in my tool bag, that's what it would be.

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 9 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

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

Yeah post peen pic

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 5 points 17 hours ago

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.

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

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 7 points 13 hours ago

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".

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Cool list.

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

Also missing the Form Setter Hammer.

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.

Option 31: Water. Ever seen how much damage an incompressible fluid can do when it cavitates?

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

Why is the welding hand funny?

[–] benignintervention@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours 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

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.
[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 4 points 11 hours ago

Rubber. I dont want my target to go as easily as with others.
