Here are mine, minus a sledge hammer that I forgot to include.The nylon tipped one was a high school metal shop class project. I poured the aluminum into molds and then tuned them on a lathe, tapped and assembled the parts.

Nice brick hammers there Poncho. :like: :like:
Digging around behind the seat of my truck I found this ball pein hammer. Then found this pry bar in a tool box back there also. I bought these several years ago and as you can see they are unused. :think: Maybe I should look back there more often. :D
I have a few normal hammers, and unique hammers, and of course flat bars but here's a very unique setup that I made a while back, sorry the pics suck.

Thanks, here's where I got the idea from, but I wasn't going to go out and spend $100 on something I probably would never use. So I found a crappy hammer and cut the head off, then cut the tip off a crowbar, and then cut a piece of diamond plate to size and wielded all together. Idk if you can see it but I grooved the top of the shovel to kinda make a saw, and then sharpened the other part to make it a blade. I must say that has some weight to it, I'm almost tempted to just cut the shovel part off and make a nice tip on the end to have a VERY bad a$$ hammer/bar..I have a few normal hammers, and unique hammers, and of course flat bars but here's a very unique setup that I made a while back, sorry the pics suck.

I :like: those design MadP :cheers: Very interesting :tu:

Not forgetting the others in my first pic :cheers:
It is, Its a big bolt that's been peined over a small hammer head,
I bought it at a boot sale, the Guy was selling his Dads old tools,
He said his Dad was always fixing things and if he didn't have a tool he would make something,
I thought it should come home and live with me :D
:cheers:

I miss a few of my hammers, I had two sheet metal ductwork ones, along with a mini one that I thought I had downstairs but about 30min ago I went to look for it and it wasn't there. I also made a ball-peen back in high school, that was freaking nice, it had the right weight balance along with a nice knurled grip, that I sooo wish I still had, I think my old man stole it from me..

:)I didn't see that one in the original pic, I'd knock that little end piece off then file the end down and make it into a crowbar, and maybe wrap some paracord around it, or dip it in that rubber grip keeping the end clean?

I think that's an old crate hammer, ezdog? Those were used to open and bang together shipping crates. Popular back in the day, when things were packed in wooden crates and chests. Very cool.
I was just handling one of those down at an antique store, but decided to leave it there. But you have me thinking......
Couple crate tools.
Hey, ezdog, what organizer is that?
I was downtown today, and after ezdog's tantalizing photos, I decided to pick up that crate hammer I had seen a couple weeks ago. Why, oh why, do I read these threads?
Top to bottom:
- BiXby "Box Terrier"
- Crown mallet
- Estwing 'singing' hammer
- Lil' pursuader
(https://i.imgur.com/scIg7Bq.jpg)
I call the Estwing my 'singing hammer' because it gives off a piercing ring when striking nails or stubborn bolts. Doesn't happen when I use it to smack coconuts or small kittens. :shrug:

Great Pouch too!
If it was a Maxpedition it would sell for twice as much too.
Here is another one less loaded up so you can see inside better.

Thanks for the pic. How's the elastic? Some of those have elastic that don't really stretch.

Cool rock hammer, El P.
They sell those down at the local hardware store. A lot of rock hounds around here.
I can't help but pause and admire them... :drool:... but I haven't picked up rock hunting....or a hammer.....yet...... :whistle:
Oh and there's another lump hammer and claw hammer in my car toolbox
and another claw hammer in the van at work ::)
It's not my fault!
Years ago I got fed-up with having to bring tools home from work when I had jobs to do at the weekend :D

Lord help me, but I do love a hammer..... :tu:

I always wanted an Estwing, having only ever had cheap hammers that I have inherited. There is a combo with a pry bar that I have often seen for about the same price as just the hammer.
Well I came across this combo on clearance for cheap the other day and decided it try it rather than wait until I could afford an Estwing. I thought you can't go wrong with Made In USA, right?

But when I unwrapped it and had I better look I could see why it was on clearance.
