For removing it from the trunk, if it's still there, my first idea would be to get a good solid 2X4 or better 2X6 that is longer than the car is wide and chain the anvil to the board and (with help) lift it out that way. Or you could rock it back and forth adding boards under the sides to raise it to a level you can work with it. Just a couple ideas. Kendrick

Thank Charlotte! It never occured to me to look for metric sizes. My D'oh moment for... well this 10 min. Kendrick

I'm using a Truper cross peen bought at a local farm supply store. For me I had to sand the handle down a bit to be comfortable. Also I have worried about the fact that I tend to choke up on my handle and have heard all the admonishments against that. Of course then I went to a hammer-in and discovered that the handle on my cross peen is about 4 inches longer than any of the handles I saw there. When you read something like "You should hold the hammer handle at the end" in a book or online it doesn't mean much without a visual because you may have happened to picked up a hammer with a 2 foot handle (exaggerating) for your first one and then holding the end wouldn't be practical. I'll throw in a question here too. I have a 2lb hammer and would like to get 1 and 1 1/2 pounders but I can't find them anywhere except a couple of several hundred dollar ones that are outside my budget. Short of making one where can you get lighter cross peens? Kendrick

Thanks guys.
