My favorite hammer and favorite porn genre. No wait! Ignore that last part.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I want to be your sledgehammer.

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 7 points 12 hours ago

Option 31: Water. Ever seen how much damage an incompressible fluid can do when it cavitates?

[–] terminhell@lemmy.world 23 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

None of those. My custom 30lb'er

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Wtf do you do with that thing

Looks like it breaks into bank vaults on the regular

[–] terminhell@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What evere requires....extra 'persuasion'. I legit use it for projects around the house. Last use was few weeks ago. Aided in breaking up my porch cement slab. Sometimes it's used for erasing hard drives at work. Sometimes as an axe replacement for old lumber etc.

It's a 20lb head. The original wooden handle broke one day. Had a welder friend fix the handle XD. So it's another 10lbs of ~1.5inch construction grade rebar. It will out last me. Hoping to make it an heirloom.

[–] vorpuni@jlai.lu 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Aren't the impacts painful? I've used small hammers that were all steel and they weren't there for violence unless you like waking up the tendinitis demon.

[–] terminhell@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Surprisingly no. Infact it's about on par with another 16lber I've got with the fancy fiberglass and stuff built in.

I think the sheer mass absorbs most of it. The rest is technique. Slightly loosening the left hand grip just before impact. Then again, not much is resisting this monster either.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

That looks fit for a Nordic god. Call it Yendor.

It's just someone's name spelled backwards

[–] spacesatan@leminal.space 2 points 11 hours ago

The secret option is the real electrician's hammer, some lineman's pliers.

I must confess to having a sweet spot for a good toffee hammer.

[–] Vegasvator@lemmy.today 3 points 13 hours ago

I'm a drilling hammer kind of mechanic. Not even listed.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 28 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Where's the hammer they use to bonk the dead pope to make sure he's dead?

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 21 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I've always assumed it was some sort of ornate, ceremonial hammer made of pure gold that they keep in a special chamber, but now that you mentioned it, I really hope it's just a claw hammer they borrow from the maintenance guy.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 23 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It gives +100% damage to undead creatures and blesses all in a 3M radius

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

Wait, is that really it? Because that's fucking awesome.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

“Hey Frank, can we borrow your hammer? We need to see if the pope is dead.”
“Did you submit a maintenance ticket for it? I don’t see it on my task list.”
“Oh, no, but I figured if I just called you…”
“Gotta have a ticket for it; I get in trouble if I spend too much time on other things.”

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

No matter who you are, no matter where you work, the facilities team is really in charge.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I thought I knew one that wasn't on here but second look reveals that in fact it is on the list.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I need to put in a screw, so I'll choose the green one. It will perform as well as any other and plus it looks good.

Big hammer gives you all these flavors and vanity but I've spent my life around screws and they are all the same.

[–] boolean_sledgehammer@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Drywall seems closest to a viking weapon.

A couple of these are wrong

[–] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 9 points 21 hours ago

Estwing 22oz smooth faced ripping/framing hammer. Bought one about 30 years ago when I was doing roofing and framing work. Still use it all the time. Comfortable and durable, great for construction and demolition work. Does a nice job digging out stubborn nails. If I could only have one hammer in my tool bag, that's what it would be.

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 10 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

The double peen is wrong. That’s just a soft face mallet.

Uh, what's the difference between the Rip and Claw hammers?

Also, that blacksmith hammer looks like a tiny double head axe

[–] spacesatan@leminal.space 1 points 12 hours ago

You can do more stuff with the straighter claw on the rip hammer, like whack it into something to use it as a wedge.

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 4 points 19 hours ago

Rubber. I dont want my target to go as easily as with others.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 7 points 22 hours ago

Came here looking for a masonry hammer as I need to buy one and don't know what it is. I still don't, unless it's "brick".

[–] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I will now schedule a delivery of 40,000 of them. I don't care if you don't want that many - or if you wanted me to stop at 30,000. You're getting all of them.

Cool list.

Never seen an electrician use an "electricians hammer", most use a framing.

Also missing the Form Setter Hammer.

My 3ft field geo hammer isn't listed. That one

[–] TaeKwonDoh@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Being in auto body repair, I love this chart. Seeing how other trades use hammers is just fascinating, since it's kind of like a peek into their world.

I'd never have known that a drywall hammer had such a nice blade at the end of it, or that an electrician's hammer would look so unique.

That said, I'd like to have seen a pick hammer. It comes in short and long varieties, which we use to take out high spots from beneath a car panel while also gradually shrinking the metal in that area, before switching sides and tapping it back down.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Dead blow hammer to do the deed and framing hammer to pin it on some random idiot.
