I know that at first glance it looks like this should be in the hones section, but I'm talking hammers here.

I did not even notice it start to gain on me. I had the usual hammers - mauls, club hammers, claw hammers, cross pein hammers, sledge hammers, etc, but then these little fellers began to join in...

Some are just useful for a variety of purposes, one was a serendipitous find - the small welders hammer - and others sort pinning very well.

Of them all, the most satisfying ones are the ones I have adapted - the uglier looking ones - usually with a small thin beak - admirable for collarless pinning.

It was only as I moved workshops that they came out of the woodwork. But, I caught myself looking at a three-hammer ball-pein set the other day, so I must stay on guard.

A small collection to be sure, but it smacks of larger to come...

Neil
