    Hammers



    The subject of giving things a whack to get them working again, or possibly just make yourself feel better came up in a thread the other day and i wondered how many hammers you guys carry about on the van.

    I've got two sizes of copper/hide mallets, two sizes of ball pien hammers, a claw hammer, a massonary chipping hammer, a rubber mallet and two club hammers.....

    Goes off to join hammers anonymous

    Re: Hammers

    Congrats on your 1000th Post

    I carry a claw hammer, small ball pien and a small lump hammer.

    Also in my toolkit is the hammer/chiesel action of the kango for those difficult to start compressors

    And not forgetting the mallet that I hit the apprentice with!!!!!!!

    1 small hammer which I used only yesterday to free a jammed compressor contactor. [Don't worry, I ordered a new contactor!]

    1 Ball pien hammer, 1 copper mallet to persuade comps to work, 1 nylon mallet for fitting fan blades, 1 sledge hammer to fix doors.

    You just got to love refrigerated containers.

    Re: Hammers

    You know the definition of hammer right?

    A hammer is a tool used to hit the very important "thing" right next to what you were aiming at.
