Another important benefit of a brass hammer is if using a drift or similar it helps avoid slipping off the drift and send it flying like a steel hammer would. Everyone sooner or later miss hits, a brass hammer helps.

Good job Daniel! Thats cool they're non marring and don't spark

Thanks Javier! Yeah the fact that they will not damage steel under normal use is such a huge plus for automotive techs....sometimes a special suspension bolt can be $10+ each!

great informative review

Thanks Cole! :)

The wood handle lover in me is grimacing with how badly aimed that handle's wood grain is. Maybe its my love for axes speaking but the grain should be aimed with the direction of the blow, not against it as the 2lb one is.

Where can you purchase these and how does the price compare to other brass hammers?

Cool review! Those hammers look sick! I also really like my made in England Thor hammer :)

Thanks :) I saw those....but where can you buy them? Their website didnt tell me too much, and then searching "thor hammer" just pops up a bunch of kids toys from the movie...haha

I bought them when I was on holliday in England last year. Yeah, for me the trip isn't that far as I live in Holland haha :)

Awesome tool for use for with auto and metal surfaces you don't want to damage. Seems like steel would still be preferable in combat right? Tod Cutler makes battle ready medieval reproduction mace heads out of brass is why i ask.

Wilton makes a killer brass hammer

Every tool has its purpose. Me i use dead blow hammers and rubber mallets on cars because i don't want to take a chance braking things . The only time that i ever use a metal head hammer is taking u joints out; i have a ball joint press that will take out u joints it a impact wrench but i can fix a u joints just as fast with a socket and a metal hammer.

I wish there were more like you Cody.....I see so many beat up/dented up parts on vehicles from people using the wrong tools to "creatively fix" things. I have a hammer drawer....and just about every one of them gets used on a semi-regular basis. Definitely +1 on the dead blows.....I use them a lot.

Never mentioned price.

Great video, but the brass hammer is useless when working on cars. The hammer took more damage than the control arm itself.

Brass hammers are good for installing soft bushings (pilot bushings and such). For separating a knuckle or removing a tie rod I'll use a deadblow.

thats the idea.. you dont want to damage the component youre hitting

Clayton Bridges exactly. I'd rather take a bit longer to remove a component without damaging it than get it done quickly and damage it.
