Dudes I just realized I have as much of a problem with hammers as I do with MTs :facepalm: This is most of my masonry type hammers not including sledges and rock hammers :ahhh

I still have a 12 oz. Estwing with a carbide tip in my toolbag at work but these are my other Estwing brick hammers :tu: The one on the right has been with me since I started laying brick a 24 oz.with a carbide tip in it as well :cheers: The one on the left has seen the next most use my first 12oz. Estwing brick hammer the one at the top is a leather handles brick hammer that hasn't been made since the 50's according to Estwing :cheers: I got it on Ebay for a very good deal, and the two in the middle have seen some use but not as much as the outside two

(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e276/poncho6556/Camera/1476323388468.jpg) (http://s41.photobucket.com/user/poncho6556/media/Camera/1476323388468.jpg.html)

These are all my smaller brick/tile hammers :cheers: Several different brands most have not been made for 30+ years :dd: I love the smaller hammers as you can make much more accurate cuts with them :like: If I am gonna lay brick only then one of the bigger ones in this pic make it's way into the ole bag :D If I am laying several different types of material then the 24 oz. goes in or whatever mood I am in ;)

(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e276/poncho6556/Camera/1476322941526.jpg) (http://s41.photobucket.com/user/poncho6556/media/Camera/1476322941526.jpg.html)

Now is a pic of misc. different brands that have seen a various amount of use over the years and have been mostly Ebay finds, bought or given to me by other bricklayers :tu: I forgot that the 2nd hammer in the 1st pic has been with me as long as I can remember as well.  My dad got me several bricklaying tools the Christmas before I got out of school so I would have something to work with :whistle: :D I have used it a lot on side jobs and the brand is Marshalltown :cheers: The bigger one with a green head is a Garland rawhide hammer we use when setting stone but I have a smaller one that I use mostly that is in with my stone tools and if I do use a bigger one we also have the same ones at work :tu:

(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e276/poncho6556/Camera/1476322962395.jpg) (http://s41.photobucket.com/user/poncho6556/media/Camera/1476322962395.jpg.html)

So as you can see I have a tiny admiration for hammers as well :whistle: I love bars as well but they are scattered here and there and will take a bit more time than this to find for pics :D

When I was but a wee tot of no more than 2 years old I was given a hammer some nails and a section of a poplar tree that my Pa (mother's father) cut for me and my Dad and Mom said I put as many nails in that piece of wood that was humanly possible :o :D I even still have all my fingers and fingernails :rofl:

No way would anyone would give a small kid a hammer let alone nails to go with it nowadays :ahhh

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..

He said his Dad was always fixing things and if he didn't have a tool he would make something,

Dang I guess I guessed that spot on, lol.. 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......

Yep thats what is is!

I work out of a Pouch or Bag most of the time and need to hammer a lot but regular hammers are too big for the pouch usually and not really ideal for my daily stuff anyway.
I came across my first one probably 45 years ago and have ALWAYS carried one since!

Perfect for setting Hollow Wall Anchors,Masonry Anchors,Punching and marking and chipping out drywall,steel and concrete and just about anything a small hammer would do but with no parts to break or wear at all.
Obviously also a great Prybar alone and with a bigger hammer and not bad for Self-Defense either.

So they are ideal for my daily use as I can carry one all the time,everywhere I have my pouch.

Just as useful Today as when they were conceived at least to me!

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.

I have 3 of these and all have been great.
The one with the tools gives the elastic the most stress I guess and is just like new really.
The fabric is much mire flexible than Maxped too snd just a lot for friendlier to me in every way.

Here's a little Birkinshaw Lump Hammer. I thought they'd miss spelled Birkenshaw but now I'm sure it was the maker, not the place, though the maker's stamp isn't clear. I got a new handle for it but it probably just needs a bit more wedging to tighten it up

Prybars and Exhumers

This Crow bar, and the other tools for that matter, are special. They are all made of bronze. I used to work on some scales and weighing equipment and a couple of my customers were in the printing business. I had to have non-sparking tools to work on the scale decks in the ink rooms. New these 3 tools average $250-300 each. 24" crow bar and 12" adjustable wrench and channel lock pliers. Some where I have a couple screw drivers and a set of Allen wrenches in bronze also. Dan

Belknap Hardware BG47-13 claw hammer (guessing 13 ounce). Originally was my great-granddad's.  Belknap Hardware was a firm in Louisville Kentucky that went out of business in 1986, and was also pretty well known for knives (in fact, Bluegrass Cutlery has the John Primble/Belknap name and is still making knives (in CHINA) with that name). The head is painted gold. Don't know if the head came that way, or it was done later to prevent rusting.

Pittsburgh PRO  24 ounce framing hammer. I think it's one piece, but I'm not sure. Surprisingly well made for a $12 hammer from Harbor Freight. I don't use it much, preferring the old Belknap or my Vaughan 24 ounce hammer simply because I prefer USA made tools.  This is my "I know you're an idiot who will break my good tools, so here's this" hammer.

All I've got so far. A homemade mallet and a huge chunk of copper.

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 a better look I could see why it was on clearance.

You probably know this, but that little crowbar's called a cat's paw - it's an immensely handy tool and design wise older than people think.  :tu:

I didn't know that... I think we just call them pry bars; wrecking bars are bigger and curved in a half circle at one end and crow bars are long straight heavy things (according to us).

For us a crowbar's a jimmy, but a jimmy's not a wrecking bar, but a wrecking bar is a crowbar... but not a punch bar...

OK I haven't heard jimmy as a noun before (apart from someone's name) - usually as a verb.
So you might jimmy something with a crowbar.
But you're saying "Jimmy began to jimmy with his jimmy."  :think:

I've had the rest, now it's time I tried the best. Actually I already have, and decided I could do without no longer. Most of my friends have Estwings as their primary hammer, and if I'm working with them, I tend to not even bother going to get my hammer, and borrow their Estwing.

Recently ordered a 20 oz. Estwing on a whim, but not really, as I'd been looking at them at Lowe's for like forever; but then COVID hit. Last hammer this size I will probably buy. Need a few smaller ones....  Anyone know why Estwing isn't painted on the handle? Accident or cost-cutting? Just like the axes now have nylon, instead of leather scabbards?
