I’ve posted photos of the new ball peen, and Forum members have given the hammer a great name: the “stubby.” Awesome. We thought it important to give everybody a heads up with what’s going on with the stubby.

Here’re some more photos. I’d said we’re going to have a couple different head configurations, so voilà. We have a stubby ball peen and a stubby flat, or flat-flat. The stubby ball peen is going to be generally available very soon. We’ve run some green and we’re running some red of the stubby ball peen now. We need to brand the hammers. We don’t have a lot of parts for the stubby flat right now. General availability is a bit down the road for the flat-flat.

Some of you might prefer the stubby flat-flat to the stubby ball peen, or vice-versa. Others might want one of each. At some point, both versions for the stubby will be available in three colors—red, green, and blue. Don’t pull the trigger on a red or a green, if you’d rather have a blue. It’s coming soon, too. We also have plans to configure our four standard ball peens with the flat-flat setup.

Fire away with any questions.

Thanks.

Any chance you could take the photos with something like a soda can in them so we have some perspective on the dimensions of the hammers?

I would get the flat/flat in blue when that comes out.

Now my dream list would be complete with a dead-blow ball peen sledge :D

I think that little ****** is cute; and would enjoy using one....:D

The green color would make it easy to spot on a workbench, or toolbox.

Please t let Us know when the stubby ball peen is available to be ordered in Green

No questions! Great idea!

My grandfather used to make his own versions by cutting down regular hammers! I used to think this a bit eccentric till I inherited his and tried them. Very handy tools, but by cutting down, you don't get the handle proportions correct!

These look great!

Darnit... I thought it was going to be simple. Just buy the new stubby. Now there are two stubbies to choose from. :willy_nil

Who knows?
I'd be down for one of each. I'd love to get both in green, but it might be a good idea to order one in a different color. It'd make it easier to tell them apart.

Just when I thought I didn't need another hammer. Both look like winners, Well DONE!!!!

I'm thinking the flat flat might be my new favorite in different weights.

Thanks for posting here and involving us in your product development.:thumbup:

I'll make a post on the Garage Journal when the hammers are available (hoping Monday/Tuesday next week). We're first offering these hammers to forum members. Once the new hammers are on the website for purchase, we'll make a general announcement.

Are the current TC hammers still available for order in green/blue?

You can order ball peens in green.

Our green ball peens are now a regular item for purchase.

It will take a while for the "green" ball peens to be listed on our website, but the specs and descriptions for the four models are on our website now (https://trustycook.com/product-category/hammers/ball-peen-hammers).

In the interim, before the green ball peens are listed on our website, you can get with me in a PM to place an order or feel free to send an email, if you have my email address.

We are branding the hammers next week. Initially, we won’t be carrying a huge inventory of the green ball peens. We need to determine demand.

If you are interested in the greens, please include your “ship to” information and email in the PM. The Sorceress and I will be processing orders as we have done for recent specials.

Thanks for your support everybody, and have a great weekend.
