What kind of hammer is best

[Sans Bateau]

Cor! I was only trying to be technically correct, we were discussing the item not its use! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Well, I intend going out to get gavelled this evening!

Is a Percy Sledge better than an MC Hammer?

 

[jimi]

Nah Brian Blessed's a bigger hammer than either!

 

[jhr]

For explosive results, get a selection of Hammas!

 

[jimi]

Some forumites have eluded that sometimes a bigger hammer may be required than others; you should know that (within reason) size doesn't matter!

It's not how big it is, so long as you know where to hit something and how hard to hit it that matters. Knowing this is the difference between a "bodger" and an engineer and is why engineers can charge a lot of money. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[/ QUOTE ] Beg to differ. Surely you have heard the famous quote attributed to Freddie Truman when someone remarked on the size of his beer gut - something along the lines of "If tha's got a big nail, tha' needs a big 'ammer" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: What kind of ANCHOR is best

Well, I think this is a wind-up and Jimi really meant ANCHOR...I mean, we haven't had the usual 1 million post contest between CQRs and our NZ friends for at least a week or so, have we?

Re: What kind of ANCHOR is best

Hammer. Anchor
Ammer. Hanchor
Armmer. Handchor
Armour. Handcart.

Yep, reckon you're wrong.

Re: What kind of ANCHOR is best

I miss read the post i thought it said"which anchor is best"?

I cant see theres any point in asking as theres only the CQR BRUCE FORTRESS DANFORTH &fisher so the answer would be simple!!

If you want the best for the bottem carry one of each! Most boats today are more than big enough

Now hammers thats another question i use a copper one for----

 

[santeana]

A bitta hammer
A la(r)ger hammer
Getting hammered on bitta and la(r)ger!

 

[Neraida]

For little whacking - small ball-pein hammerette
General Porpoise Hammering - Can't beat (beat, geddit?) a good old Claw hammer
For thumping things with threads/sharp damageable edges - "Nylon" Mallet (and a copper one for more "Thunk")
Serious Jobs - Lump hammer
Really Serious Jobs - Sledge!

Hope this helps you in your search for compliance /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well there's been a lot of Joshing here about hammers, but I can assure you that your query is a good one, a good hammer can make a big difference, especially if you are doing some day long nailing......

Now my experience is in framing, so you need a good balance, with about a 19oz or so machined head and a long straitish puller. Balance is cruicial for a good nail, and a strong lightweight lengthy shaft go's a long way.

For finishing a lighter touch is better, with the need for better precision.

So for a good long nailing session, I recommend the V5.....

For a smoother stroke...


Remember, your tool is important!
