      Anything is a hammer to an electrician, including their fists.

    Anything is a dildo hammer, if you’re brave enough.

      Oh, they forgot the dildo hammer too.

      You know, sometimes you got to hammer the thing in all the way.
      (Don’t worry if you miss and accidentally hit the balls, it’s fine.)

      Not to be confused with hammer dildo (which they also forgot). Thats just s dildo with a handle at a 90° angle.

    TIL that finishing a shaped metal sheet by pounding it on a pedestal is called “planishing” and said pedestal is called a “planishing stake.” I’ve seen it done I just never thought to ask what it was called, I guess.

      I’ve heard they have matching salt and pepper shaker?

      Just be careful when it comes to the automatic circumcisers.

    Why is it called a ball peen hammer?

    Cause it’s used to hammer your balls and peen.

    Missing so many hammers, smh my head.

    • wedge hammer
    • stretching hammer
    • detail hammer
    • angle hammer
    • seaming hammer
    • polishing hammer
    • slate hammer
    • slate restoration hammer

    I’m probably missing a whole bunch, these were just the ones I used as a roofer.

    I always wondered what the ball peen hammer is for.

      My time has come.

      I’m what the aerospace industry calls a “surface enhancement engineer.” A fancy way of calling me a peener. I mostly work with CNC air blast shot peening machines but the principle is essentially the same as a ball peen hammer.

      Basically, hitting metal with hard ball causes little dimples to form on the surface of your work piece. Hit it a shit load of times and you get dimples all over. At the end of the day all those dimples help prevent stress fractures from forming.

      Same for Soft face & double peen.

        Soft face is exactly what it says, it’s got soft rubber faces, basically just a shrunk down rubber mallet. Use it on things you don’t want to leave marks on.

        Double peen is basically just a soft face except one side is like a hard epoxy like material. Harder than the rubber side, still softer than a metal head would be.

    It, uhh… It looks like your double peen is made of plastic. Are you sure this is something to brag about?
