I stumbled across this today while cleaning up some tools and thought you all would like to see it.

Dad had the "raw-hide" mallet (as he called it) in his tractor tool box for use when installing farmer implements. No telling how old that mallet was.

I was down at his old tractor shed last week and couldn't find it. Bet that thing was 45 years old.

Nice copper/leather hammer you found there !!

Thor hammers are distributed in the US through Anglo American tools. Anglo American is the exclusive national agent for Knipex so I would expect you could order Thor hammers from any Knipex dealer.

One of the shops I used to work for years ago, had a Thor hammer that we used for knock-off wire wheels. Since then, I have had it in the back of my mind to get one some day. It was a very nice hammer.

Standard knock-off hammer readily available from Victoria British and Moss Motors

And the price isn't too bad either- a 38mm one here costs about NZ$50 (20 GBP/ US$40)...

Where can I get one?

Keep that away from the dog if you have one, caught my dog gnawing on my rawhide hammer.

 

[mkdive]

Agreed MickeyO. You see rawhide gives my dog gas.....nasty reaction I tell ya. I don't think we need rawhide hammers here!

Where can I get one?

Best bet is to hit the website above and see who the US distributor is, otherwise there is a US made version it appears:

IMO, the Thor/Thorace hammer looks to be better quality, but having not used either... [shrugs] I'm going with the Thorace one, as soon as I have the cash!
