What do you use the second peen for?

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Peenetration

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago

Also missing is MC.

[-] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I noticed missing dishing hammer for sheet metal shaping and caulking hammer for traditional wood ship building.

[-] Sensationalglyph@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Drawbar Hammer for my mill boys

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

speaking of double peen, does anyone remember the "double dick dude" of reddit who turned out to be a fraud?

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That is indeed what I was referring to!

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

They forgot "water"

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Some of these I can't even fathom what they are used for.

I"m going out on a limb and risk the engineers hammer is the tool used when everything else has already failed to separate, combine, detache, attache, couple, decouple, split or join.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Engineers hammer is used to smack things and see what happens. You're not meant to drive nails or shape metal with it, but it's used to do inspections.

For example, a structural engineer inspecting a truss bridge might go and smack every stringer or strut near the rivet to the beam to see what happens. If the strut jiggles a bit, then the rivet has loosened and might need to be replaced.

If a bit of steel is heavily rusted, the engie might belt it really hard to see if it breaks due to deep corrosion, or if it's just surface rust.

The sound you get from smacking a bit of steel can also tell you about the material, good steel will bong and reverb, bad steel will be dull and not reverb.

So it's like kicking the tires on a car, but with a college degree.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

And today I learned.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 68 points 2 days ago

No, these are electrician's hammers

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

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

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

100%. I ain't getting off this ladder to get a hammer, I'll beat that sumbitch with my drill battery if I have to

[-] EightLeggedFreak@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

Am electrician. Have taken off boot to use as hammer.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

These are the sacrifices that have to be made to feed the grid

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Vice grips for pliers
Pliers for a wrench
Wrench for a hammer
Hammer's everything else

A song for that guy:

hard on equipment

Holy shit! Somebody wrote a song about me!

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Or their eyes

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Truly is one of the most versatile tools to own.

Big Peen doesn't want you to know about it

[-] bhamlin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Oh you, Peen Peen. You're so crazy...

[-] wieson@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The best one imo: the carpenter's hammer

Wikipedia translates it to claw hammer, but the built and functions are very different.

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Well it does have a claw, but it specifically has the nail holder.

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.

[-] almost1337@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, this is how shields and armor were made, as planishing doesn't thin out the metal so much.

[-] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Dishing hammer is also important for armouring, and is missing from the picture.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Remember, every 27th customer gets a ball-peen hammer free!

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

At the hardware store?

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

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Here's me just taking whatever is closest.

Missing banhammer.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Why is it called a ball peen hammer?

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

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago
[-] Kaput@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I always wondered what the ball peen hammer is for.

[-] Rentoraa@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

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.

Rip my straight peen after coming out

[-] _bcron_@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Now I'm thinking of a hammer tier list. Milled face framing hammer is clearly S-tier because you get to leave your mark
