[Travisnd]

So how do I find out what blem hammers are in stock? Do I email the OP with what I want and he tells me if he has it or not or do you have a list of what's in stock

Yes.

Previous post.

The blems are here to stay for some time, at least.

I just want to clarify a few things. I think I had a few gaps in my original post.

We will have all hammers, except ball peens, available as blems at different times.

Some models are more popular than other models, so we are constantly running these models.

Unfortunately, we end up with more scrap or blems for the popular models.

A "scrap" hammer gets thrown out or the steel gets recycled.

Blem hammers are functional and durable, but will usually have some cosmetic issues.

If I say we don't have any blems of a certain model today, that doesn't mean we won't this model as a blem a month or two from now--or a few days from now.

We have hammers that are destined for the blem bin that haven't been finished. The guys in the plant work on branded hammers before trimming and finishing blems.

Nobody is going to be a bother if he/she checks back with me at different points to see if a certain blem is available. We hope to have blems set up for website purchases at some point soon.

Thanks for your support.

We love pictures (as you know).. even if they are disasters... Some might very well sell here only as "conversation pieces"..... Not practical but hey.. why not ask...

Here're a couple of pictures, which might make for conversation. This is a Buddy Blaster disaster that somehow made it to printing. The canister is obviously exposed on the top, and the color in the handle is inconsistent, having the translucent skeleton look on one side.

I have a person in mind for this hammer. Is anybody else interested?

That's cool! I'd be interested in it.

That is a cool one. It almost looks like one that you should cut the casting half way up the hammer head to use as a teaching tool about why the Buddy Blaster is more bad *** than other hammers. You could see the welds and all but still see what the hammer looks like with casting on it as well.

I don't have any deadblows at this time and I am very excited to hopefully get some quality made in the usa ones at a sweet deal.

I am guessing you are talking about me!

Yeah...that one is indeed "interesting".. Good conversation piece... Hopefully they didn't hurt the mold making that one..

I got mine yesterday. Thanks for the great hammers!

Got 3 of em coming my way. Wallet is still hanging in there at these prices. Got beer money left over.

You're welcome.

A blem update--currently our of S1-S4 models and out of model #10. We're running 10s now, so we could end up with a blem or two.

 

[helterskelter]

Received hammers. I couldn't find the blemishes on them. Thank you and I'll be looking for more in another month or so.

 

[TM98]

Is there a list of the hammers somewhere? I can't seem to find them.

All models except ball peens will be available as blems at different times. We are currently out of S1-S4 blems, as well as model #10 blems. It'd be great if we never had blems, but this will never happen. We're running model 10s right now, for example, so there is a chance we'll have a blem or two by the end of the day. Production works on branded hammers first, and as time permits, they trim and finish up blems.

I submitted my order around noon wen the 3rd and today the 5th I received the 3 hammers and the blemishes are minor scuffs on 2 and one has some small bubbles in the handle nothing that would ever affect the performance I am very happy with them and how fast they got here

Ordered yesterday. Trusty Cooks arrived today. Thanks Rich and Victoria.

A little bubbling in the handle on the small one. Middle one looks perfect to me. Big one has 4 small bubbles on the face of one side and slight discoloration on the top.

I ordered the S0, 0, 1 models. Thinking I could use a bigger one still. The #1 is ok but not really a BFH. That little 8oz'er is tiny.

Thinking about getting a #3 if they become available.

We have an abundance of Model #3s. We're out of slim line heads and Model #10 right now.

I will post an update to this site periodically to let everybody know what we have in stock for blems. We're currently out of Models S1-S4 and Model #10 sledges. We have zero bossing mallets, too.

Blems in stock are as follows: S0, 1,2,3,4, 7, 12, 14.

As models become available or disappear from stock, I will update the thread. Victoria, aka "The Sorceress", is processing most of the order requests now. Thanks for making everything easy for her.

Fire away if you have any questions.

Are the 12s and 14s only in red?

 

[hammersmadeinusa]

The 12s & 14s are only in red right now.

Trying to resist model 7 and 12 sledge hammers...

I was unable to resist those two.

Looking for a BFH for home/general use - should I go model 3 or 4 in anyone's opinion??? I'm thinking the 4 is overkill, right now I use a 21oz USA Stanley for a bunch of stuff.

 

[Scooterfish]

I have the mechanic 3 pack ( good deal) The 22 oz slim and the #3 will cover a lot your basic needs for non BP.

#3 is pretty big for a standard dead blow... if I wanted anything larger, I'd probably get a sledge...

 

[bfm336]

Thanks guys, it will be the #3!

For home/general use I thought the #3 would be my go-to. Most of the time, however, I find the #4 to be a better choice. The hammer can do more of the work because of the extra weight, and (when necessary) using a lighter touch with the #4 is easier than using a heavy touch with the #3.

That said... just buy both. The S1, and 7 have also proven quite valuable for general home use.

 

[diernosaj]

now you guys are forcing me to buy a #3 and a #4. i really hate to love you guys.

For those of you who've been to our website, you've probably seen "spindle liners" as a product category. Our spindle liners are made for CNC lathes, turning centers. The spindle liner basically allows the lathe operator to run different size bar stock in the lathe. It's a reduction tube. A draw tube might have a bar capacity of 80mm, but you want to run 66mm bar stock. This won't work to well: there will be a lot of vibration and machine performance will suffer, as will precision. We make a spindle liner with an ID to run the 66mm bar stock at the highest RPM possible, while maintaining tight tolerances.

I have spindle liner customers ask if they can run 1.75" bar stock in a 2.00" ID spindle liner. The answer is always "yes," but I'm not sure you want to do that. There's too much clearance. I use the analogy of socket set. What would happen if you tried to turn a 1/4 inch bolt with a 3/8 inch socket? The right tool for the job...

I guess that I'm longwinded this afternoon. That's what happens when Victoria is doing all the work.

And they are extremely durable
