Shabumi Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 As I was looking around online at random blacksmiths tools I came across this. Has anyone had any experience with a hammer like this? If so what did you think about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Looks like someone made them from pieces of a cv axle shaft. Some have a part similar that bearings go on the nubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VainEnd84 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I've never used one but the handles look mighty uncomfortable, interesting idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabumi Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Yeah, I thought the handles were a bit sharp, and the taper towards the end would make it more likely to slip. The tool did intrigue me, maybe not as a hammer though. The weight on either side would make it want to roll to one side or the other with each hit, especially if the faces aren't the same weight. Now as a top set with a mild steel button in between the faces to hit might work. I'm thinking eye punches... Socket, ball and pupil on one tool.

Glenn Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Richard Thibeau forged a qudra-peen hammer with 4 hammer faces on the same head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk18 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Is that Thibeau handle wedge intentionally "s" shaped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I"ve seen that style for sheet metal work.. Also seen such a hammer for tension blades.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Tin knocker's hammers. The handles should be roughly triangular with each "pointed" side towards a face. It makes them index in the hand naturally and seeing as you don't strike with much force, more a wrist flick movement, they don't turn once you get the hang of it. They're not a common type but there are a few around. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
