Reply:Yea, and I was in the Navy for 2 years before I found out you could turn nuts and bolts with a Crescent hammer.
Reply:Today I finally had a chance to sort through some junk that burned along with my building, a long time ago.Here are a few relics I pulled out:Attachment 19270You probably already noticed the brass hammer head, less handle,  and the unused, aged and charred hickory hammer handle!I draw your attention to the brass hammer head, the wooden handle has burned off.Attachment 19271Let me reintroduce the renewed improved  amazing  "Phoenix". The brass hammer, back from the ashes! With a vengence!    Attachment 19273Last edited by denrep; 10-19-2010 at 11:27 PM.
Reply:I pulled a machine out of a building this week, a large hammer was needed to knock the remaining concrete anchors out.  Man did they have the Mac Daddy brass hammer!Check it out:Attachment 21135With shock absorbing handle! Last edited by denrep; 10-19-2010 at 11:33 PM.
Reply:Good news! Brass hammer I forgot I owned, returns home.This week I went to scrounge for a conduit fitting, and there was my brass hammer  (not the coins) laying on a transformer! Attachment 21466Untouched, right were I left it about two years ago, when  the job was put on temporary hold.That's the kind of place where I like to work : Don't know who's it is, but it 'aint mine; I'll leave it alone.Last edited by denrep; 10-19-2010 at 11:33 PM.
Reply:Denrep,That is amazing. Reminds me of when we finally tracked down where my great-uncle had left his tools before he went to the war. We called the guy up just to touch base and let him know that my great uncle had finally passed away (badly injured in the war, never recovered enough to talk properly, let alone work) and found out that he was still keeping three crates of my great uncle's tools up in his shop mezanine "just in case" he got better.-Ryan McEachernLast edited by Ryan McEachern; 06-28-2008 at 11:13 PM.Reason: spelling
Reply:All right... Another straggler showed up.I think all brass hammers are now in,  and accounted for.Attachment 21808I don't remember where it came from; looks like someone threw a ball-peen in the sand and made an instant brass hammer mold!Last edited by denrep; 10-19-2010 at 11:33 PM.
