We could be adding orange to our line up? Here's a hammer right out of the mold, untrimmed. Any thoughts or feedback on orange hammers?

I do realize, as neonlazer pointed out so tactfully in another thread, that I do need to work on my photography.

Thanks.

Needs to be more orangey....er ;)

I think they are pretty orangey. His picture has a wicked blue cast assuming that surface is ~white.

I am at work so I don't have Lightroom to do it right but this is an approximation.

Edit: Ok I'm home now. Here's what it probably really looks like.

Why make them look like Harbor Freight's? The Green are the machines. Blue's not bad and red's the standard. I like in your face yellow personally but that's just me.

So I've come to the conclusion I need one of these. Having never owned a dead blow which would you guys recommend to start with? I'm just a DIYer type and will be using it around the house for home maintenance, a little wood working, and when working on my cars, truck and dirt bike. Thanks!

I'll have to send out a sample or two to somebody that has better photography skills than I do. It's more of a Schneider National orange than it shows in my photo.

I like orange! If they could be a more vibrant orange that would be nice. I don't have any dead blow type hammers, have gotten by with regular ball peens and sledges. I may have to get some if you make them in orange!

I want a yellow one (or two) I missed out on those.
But I have pink, red, blue - but what the heck, why not orange?

Focus and framing looks good. I think you did excellent! Just need some better environmental lighting!

On the color of orange, there are alot of hammers out there that are orange already, don't see a real need for it, honestly.

We upgraded our equipment over the past couple years to give us more flexibility with colors. Some of you might remember the discussions about color "pots" in another thread. We can now do run some hammers much easier in different colors.

I have all green deadblows and ballpeen. But I would like a few of each in yellow. Along with a green sledge.

Can't say I'd go for the Orange myself.

My default Snap On color is orange....so I have a lot of orange and like it that way. With that said, quality is always way more important to me than color.

Most of my Matco tools are orange. I would like to get a few orange dead blow hammers. Let us know when they're available and I'll get a few.

Haha. I like the orange, but now I'm about out of hammers to buy. There's one or two more I want to get but that's about it.

I'd be down for the deadblow extender though.

I'm still in for some of the green when you start back up on a batch. Orange looks nice, but also screams Harbor Freight, even if they're better quality.

Of course I don't have my pictures of the mini max or the stubbies, but they are all in my possession. I did not order four of the styles, but only because I thought they would get too dirty in green and I all ready had them in blue.............
