Trusty-Cook Orange Hammers?

[Strouty]

Mini Max??? And super secret adult toy..........

 

[Strouty]

And I found one of the stubbies, the entire family! Of course I forgot the buddy blasters and the pink ones, I am not sure about those pictures.

 

[firworks]

Here's my TC Family. I don't have the green one anymore though. It went to my GJSS recipient this year.

And another of the Buddy Blaster since you didn't post one:

Still holding out for a Maxi-Min one of these days. For when you REALLY need to tap on something.

 

[Strouty]

Yeah, I couldn't find my picture. I gave my smaller pink one away for Christmas, but I still have one. I don't have any gray ones though.

 

[firworks]

I might look around and see if I've got a clean BB photo. They get pretty grungey beating on suspension.

 

[Strouty]

I honestly have not used my BB, it is just so pretty.

Didn't you get one of the cool looking Buddy Blasters?

 

[Carquest]

The smallest ball peen I saw on the site is 26oz, am I just overlooking some smaller ones like a 8 or 16oz?

 

[Shootinok]

Well, I don't think I have a problem anymore ...

Haha! I remember that!

Glad to see Strouty around again.

Nope, that is cool!

Colors, colors, colors. Nobody ever comments on the font. We're doing a little experimenting with the font. This look is quite a departure from what we've done in the past.

I'm a big fan of blue. I wouldn't be a buyer of Orange. Too many of our company owned tools are orange.

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'll volunteer my time with my DSLR to take some pictures as well. I'll take pictures of as many hammers as you want to send me. [emoji106]

I'm pretty useless with a camera. Here's another look at the new color with the new font. I didn't take this photo. Does the font make a difference, regardless of color?

Where on the website do I find the orange? Will you be doing the green again?

Orange is a new color for us. We are making samples now. I've been told that we'll be getting a five gallon pail of the color, which means we'll be making a lot of orange hammers at some point.

Green is going to become available at some point. We should have multiple color options on the website. For example, if you were interested in a model #3, you'd bring up the model #3 and select your color on the page. It would be a different part number than the red or the blue.

Looking very good! Also looking nothing like a cheap glowing orange HF hammer.

 

[Stuart96]

That font is pretty nice lookin!

I'll take one of each of those four hammers. Font doesn't really matter, but given a choice, I like the original font better.

 

[Strouty]

Sorry, but I am original font too. I do like the black lettering, it makes the letters pop more.

 

[cajunfirehawk]

I think I might need a 2nd drawer in my box for more colors...

I like the orange.. and am so-so on the new font. I had a graphic arts prof at ISU who would say, make the font as simple as needed to get clarity. He was opposed to using old English gothic in all caps.. simply cannot read it.. So.. a bit on the fence on the new font. I do like the black print though..

 

[scissorman]

Strouty, if those are all your hammers, well sir you would be called a hammer *****.

So when can we order these?

 

[hammersmadeinusa]

Soon, I hope. I believe we now have the pigment to start cranking some out.

 

[tonyciambrone]

A yellow Trusty Cook Hammer appeared in my dream last night...

Maybe it is a sign to order the (56?) oz that I missed the first time around

 

[GForceJunky]

This is awesome. I had waited a long time before ordering hammers from you guys because I was holding out for orange. Sad that I now have mostly red with the odd blue hammers instead of lots of orange. Hopefully the budget works out to keep filling out my TC hammer collection with some of these babies!

 

[pennsylvaniaboy]

i like it

 

[dnschmidt]

Green and Yellow. Orange not so much.

 

[kythri]

Still holding out hope for purple!

 

[hammersmadeinusa]

We're tinkering with orange (a private label request). Any preferences? The branded orange is the first version. Thoughts?

 

[firworks]

Oooh yeah that top orange is very cool and it does look pretty good with the black.

 

[neonlazer]

Not bad! Altho I think Firworks might be a bit biased towards orange.

 

[canuckian]

Is the bottom version a brighter orange or is that just the picture ? If it is a brighter shade, my preference would be the bottom one.
Any idea when these may be available? Travelling south of he border in a few weeks and would get them shipped to me while there (saves me a pile of $$ vs shipping to Canada) if they were available then.

I'm not sure on the timing right now. Check with me before you head south. I might have a better idea.

any update when orange will be available? wanting to order several and cant tell that any orange are listed on the website?

Sorry, but I don't have an update on the orange. I'm thinking we're a few months out.

 

[hammersmadeinusa]

We're officially going with blaze orange, the lighter of the two oranges in the above photo. I'm a lousy photographer so the attached photos don't look quite like blaze orange. We have a private label customer that should be pulling the trigger on these hammers soon. The part numbers in the photo are for the private label customer. Once we start running orange for the private label customer, we should be able to crank out some Trusty-Cook brand orange for Garage Journal forum members. This could happen within the next month.
