Trusty-Cook, New Tool or Extender Redesign?

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

It's not intended for a baseball style swing--strike on the end.

Is there shot in the handle.. i.e. taking advantage of the whole cylinder to add as much dead to the blow as possible? like used for striking a piston in a cylinder in a downward direction.....

 

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

Yup, but our version is a bit heavier than the typical carving mallet. I need to get a few of these into some hands.

I'm sure more than one of us on here would by dead blow carving mallets to compete with the wooden and the wood/urethane versions I've seen ......and our supplier of choice is TC of course.

I'd be more inclined to call something like this a "Reach Hammer" "Reach Handle" "Reach whacker" or even a "Reach Thumper"

Hi Richard.. I got your PM.. am trying to figure out how to help. Been too busy lately to stop by Triton, etc. Will try this week. Rock's off Friday, so maybe....

Check out the picture...left most hammer. I have been holding on to several hammers I have purchased ~$1 ea. at Estate Sales around Indy.. Most need a new handle.. and with the help of Seymour Midwest handles...they're back in service. That one on the left might be one of the original non dead-blow flat flat hammers...

I like the different names. Keep 'em coming.

If you and Rock are in the neighborhood, Dennis, let me know. I'll make sure we have some of the hammers that have the "different" print boxed up.

I'm going to be giving out a few samples of the modified extender/thumper/?. If you'd like to give one a workout, please send a PM. I will hold a drawing this coming Monday.

Thanks.

I will have the modified extender/thumper on the way to four forum members in the next day or two.

“Obstruction hammer” comes to mind.

Three of the four are heading out today. I need some shipping information before the fourth is on the way.

Did you get mine? I sent a pm, but now that I look, it is hard to see if it actually was sent.

Thanks for this chance, it’s awesome when companies make a real personal level effort here, it is appreciated and part of what makes GJ so awesome!

Got it and the extender/thumper/????? is on the way.

 

[Shootinok]

Got mine and man I’m excited to give it a few trials.

Here’s a pic next to a #3 and #4 for perspective.

More to come ....

Thanks for the post. This is the shorter version. I had a couple of longer and shorter thumpers to send out. Looking forward to any feedback.

I have absolutely no idea as to what this thing does. First I thought it would be used to push pistons into cylinders and now I see it's two feet long. Can anybody explain what this would be used for? I'm sorry I just don't get it.

 

[Finky198]

Used it to thump on a leaky rim and tire yesterday. I tried to get the bead seat no luck with the tire but the tool worked great... tires are coming off soon anyway...

 

[hammersmadeinusa]

I would buy that extender, perfect for hitting obscured objects or directing force in a small area. Driving in a CV joint for instance.

I agree with this assessment. We should be making a demonstration video one of these days soon. I will post a link to the video in this thread.

Applying hammer force where there’s no room to swing the hammer.

I don't know how I missed this thread. I will call it my "Spud" when they are available to purchase

Any updates?

I'm sorry, but I don't have much of an update. I know we are waiting on a mold, and there have been some issues with making the mold.
