What anti-seize do you recommend? Something else for the trunk.

I'm sure folks will recommend plent of others, but this stuff works for me and it comes-a-plenty so you don't have to be cussing 'cause your little tube of anti-sieze is squeezed out.:confused:

I'm using Permatex brand anti-seize, but it's the same thing (looks like same container).
Also, not a bad idea to wear some latex gloves...the stuff doesn't wash off of your hands too easy. |

bernica.. the one on the left is an older handle of ours, if you look on that shaft you'll see a two digit number that represents the date, it looks to me as an 05. And its only just broken in, you have many man hits left in it, it can go completely FLAT without fear. |

I don't know how many of those lead shot dead-blow hammers I broke and dinged my spinners with before I got the lead hammer. The only thing to use. Of course, you still have to anti-seize the spinner and wheel (Permatex) or you'll have to use more drastic measures. Somewhere on CC is a thread with some pretty brutal methods demonstrated.

I'm sorry to hear you paid alot more and its true that my retailers do charge over 70.00 for our hammer and thats only because the price i sold club cobra is the price they pay, but i only did it to say hello to the forum and i promised those retailers who made a comment i wouldnt do it for long.
if you have one of mine, send it back i'll replace it for $20 shipped right back to you.
Anti seize is a must, it makes the only job so much easier and you wont flatten your hammer as quickly. As tested in our shop, this hammer (6lb) will remove and replace 44 wheels before its time to replace the hammer head. |

Thanks for these! A friend in another forum asked about the little hammer. Is it solid brass? I didn't want to scratch it up because it's too cute!

the little hammer was included in some of your boxes at random. they were left overs from a recent tool show in orlando. They are solid bronze and perfect for those little jobs that require a tap without damage. enjoy. |

that is a really neat and very handy hammer to have regardless where you keep it. The pattern used to cast them is approaching 60 years old now so this year it goes in for re-tooling so that the lines are crisp and clean again.

Glad I jumped on the wagon and ordered mine early this week. Been
looking for one and it will be waiting for me on my next trip to Texas.
It will be residing in #142's trunk.

Just wait until you see the hammer I sent back for recasting. I think that one exceeded your shop test. :LOL:

you guys from california will see a warning lable on the handle. Last year some non for profit organization tried to sue us under proposition 65. something about a lead hammer possibly being harmful to the air quality %/ but we ended up being exempt because we have 8 employees and the expemption was fewer than 9. But to be on the safe side every hammer shipped west of the rockies has that warning label... so guys please dont eat the hammers |

glad to see you got your monies worth! i'm sure the handle is still intact and the head is just pulverized? theres a date on the handle, it will tell us how long it took to get to that point. we have hammers that come back that are over 30 years old and still hitting strong |

You'd think californians would have something better to do. Maybe that's why they are bankrupt. They focus on the color of the fire hydrant while the house is burning down...:eek: |

Amen.
And the courts get clogged with these "environmentalists" trash suits. It's too bad the judges won't throw them out. Try doing one of these kinds of suits in Wyoming. |
