Trusty-Cook Hammers

[hammersmadeinusa]

We appreciate the response to our limited time offer of blue hammers. Garage Journal Members rock!

How about a little feedback on our line of white hammers? Should we run with them? How would they look in your tool box? And for those of you who are interested, we will be adding a new ball peen to our line up of the best dead blow hammers. Wait until you see it!

Thanks everybody!

looks great!

 

[bcradio]

I'm glad you are making some different colors... Look great.

 

[neonlazer]

Add some blue in there and you'll have a beautiful july 4th sale. Haha

 

[MrPretty]

Looks like I'll be buying some more hammers.

I bought a set of your red ball peen hammers and I am so happy you guys are the best!

As far as the colors go I like white but I bet it would show the dirt very quickly; I like all different colors (coming from a color blind Man).

Thank you so much for your 30% sales Keep it up and I will own all your hammers!

 

[shamrock12]

Wow, looking very nice! Probably would be tough to keep them clean though. Maybe for 'clean room' or medical field?

 

[dnschmidt]

I don't like white, I think they would show the dirt very badly. A nice yellow might be nice or maybe green. White I don't think so.

 

[scissorman]

I have to agree with a couple people here that the white would get real dirty quickly. I sure wish the 30% code would have worked for me on the blue hammers though, they would have looked nice sitting in my blue toolbox.

 

[articsilber323]

green next please!

 

[shoggoth80]

I think they'd end up looking greasy. That said, those look like a very nice set.

 

[fanatic]

Agreed that the white looks nice but, probably wouldn't after some use.
I ordered some blue hammers, blue is my favorite color and they match my Estwings nicely, so thanks for that.
I also would vote for green next, green has been asked about by members here and is currently a trendy tool color, TC would probably do just as well, if not better than the blues making a green batch next.

 

[dutchgray]

I would buy a couple white ones, if you get around to doing international shipping on your site.

 

[WWShop]

I agree with the guys who say they will show dirt, but its a hammer, so no big deal. These look awesome.

 

[redwrench60]

Are you able to elaborate on the new ball peen? I'm hoping for an 8oz. head and a 48oz. head ball peen additions. I'm not partial to color as long as it's not ***** ****** pink or something. I like the Red White and Blue though cause' well.....Murica'

P.S. I'm on break now but five minutes ago I was wailing on a lower ball joint with one of your 40oz. head weight ball peen hammers. Love that thing with its long handle and heavy but compact head. I lay down the law with it in tight quarters but it'd be even better in 48oz!

 

[Siteman25]

I agree with many others, looks like it would show dirt/grease pretty bad. I like the red & blue. Green also sounds like a good color.

 

[b7labelle]

I'm sure there's a market for that color! In fact, my white Nupla should be shipping soon..

 

[bobbycos]

I would buy a few in white in a heartbeat

 

[bobbycos]

Looks like I'll be buying some more hammers.

Me too

I can't keep black hammers clean. I can't image white ones!

 

[zakmartin]

Those would be awesome for hammering on anything covered in fresh lithium grease

 

[Mazdaratti3]

I would buy some even though I just bought some blue ones... but I am also partial to green!

 

[mikeselky85]

they would look great next to my new white screwdriver set . im just tired of red hammers, but i would buy a whole line of hammers if they were burgundy to match my toolbox .....just saying.................

 

[valentine]

Nope, White just isn't a practical color. Make one that's "grease colored" and you won't be able to keep them in stock.

[danwolfgang]

They look nice, but I'm afraid of how quickly they would get dirty. But... I've never tried to clean one of these hammers... can it be done, is it easy? Even so, I'm tempted to get one because they look great.

As others have said, a lime green would look great. I'd love to see a great variety of colors. I just bought a bunch of soft face dead blows. I'd like to add some ball peins in a different color and a sledge in yet a different color... but I really don't want red.

 

[OkRider]

I would like to see green for visibility and grey instead of white. Had a grey Estwing years ago. Got it to be different and it hid the dirt and grime pretty good.

I will be buying some of your hammers some day. Hopefully soon.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Man oh man do they look clean!


Truth be told though, they'd get dirty in a heartbeat; even in just my home garage. That being said though, I'd still be down for one or two.

Of all of your hammers, the bossing mallets would be the best choice in white. Less exposure to grease etc.

 

[popparoach]

I want some mix colored hammers,half red half white or blue,I don't care really I just want dual colors.each would be completely unique.I've worked injection molding before and the mixed colors are pretty cool.

 

[Youngguns]

That white with a touch of red looks absolutely awesome. Yes, there would be concern about getting dirty, but they'd be awesome for woodworkers. Why don't you follow PB Swiss and do a rainbow production, coordinating colors to different sizes (red being the smallest and progressing in Roy G. Biv order to the largest of course)?

 

[Fugio]

I'd go for neon green one. I'd add it to my zombie hunting kit.

 

[shoggoth80]

Green would be a good color. It's bright, stays relatively visible. I like Kawasakis, so I like green. Lol.

 

[rhastings80]

Might be good in a clean room but would show dirt in a garage setting.

 

[shockwave]

Have any pics I must have missed the blue ones

 

[redwrench60]

Where is the OP? Maybe he'll check this thread Monday morning

 

[LB-1911]

Have any pics I must have missed the blue ones

Here you go -

Thanks TrustyCook!

 

[JimmyNap]

So after reading this thread, I gather "green" tools just don't get dirty. Probably because nobody actually uses them. They are used in ********** asphyxiation scenarios by the people who buy them. White tools will get dirtier than green tools... They're both light in color! They will both show dirt/use! Buy black tools if you don't want them to look dirty! Better yet, you should have taken advantage of the blue while they were available!

 

[firworks]

I think those white hammers are awesome looking. Sadly I still don't own any Trusty Cook hammers though so my opinion isn't really valuable from a business perspective. There's always someday though!

 

[hammersmadeinusa]

Here's the prototype, the first one out of the mold. We've plenty of work to do, but we're making progress (handle is obviously not finished). Lots of testing to come. Our plan is to have several options for heads for this frame.

 

[M6erfan]

Reading this thread I'm confused about the concern for dirty tools...wipe down with cleaner of your choice and all should be good. No?

That said, don't like the white...
