I've got a double peen AMA

No, these are electrician's hammers

Anything is a hammer to an electrician, including their fists.
- Am electrician. Have taken off boot to use as hammer.
- 100%. I ain't getting off this ladder to get a hammer, I'll beat that sumbitch with my drill battery if I have to
- Vice grips for pliers
  Pliers for a wrench
  Wrench for a hammer
  Hammer's everything else
  
  A song for that guy:
  
  hard on equipment
- Or their eyes
Truly is one of the most versatile tools to own.

Anything is a ~~dildo~~ hammer, if you're brave enough.

Oh, they forgot the dildo hammer too.

You know, sometimes you got to hammer the thing in all the way.
(Don't worry if you miss and accidentally hit the balls, it's fine.)

Not to be confused with hammer dildo (which they also forgot). Thats just s dildo with a handle at a 90° angle.
- We use jack hammers around here for that.

And then there is this https://youtu.be/q_ZhgOlxX_A?t=167

It's there under "power hammer"
- Yeah but that one is like tiny af. I want big hammer boom boom.

TIL that finishing a shaped metal sheet by pounding it on a pedestal is called "planishing" and said pedestal is called a "planishing stake." I've seen it done I just never thought to ask what it was called, I guess.

Yeah, this is how shields and armor were made, as planishing doesn't thin out the metal so much.
- Dishing hammer is also important for armouring, and is missing from the picture.

Every 27th customer gets a ball peen hammer free!

Just be careful when it comes to the automatic circumcisers.

Remember, every 27th customer gets a ball-peen hammer free!

At the hardware store?

I've heard they have matching salt and pepper shaker?

Here's me just taking whatever is closest.

Missing so many hammers, smh my head.

wedge hammer
stretching hammer
detail hammer
angle hammer
seaming hammer
polishing hammer
slate hammer
slate restoration hammer

I'm probably missing a whole bunch, these were just the ones I used as a roofer.

Also missing is MC.
I noticed missing dishing hammer for sheet metal shaping and caulking hammer for traditional wood ship building.

Why is it called a ball peen hammer?

Cause it's used to hammer your balls and peen.

Missing banhammer.

Stop! Hammer time!

I like you

What do you use the second peen for?

Peenetration

Lol peen

Omg DOUBLE PEEN
- Big Peen doesn't want you to know about it

It, uhh... It looks like your double peen is made of plastic. Are you sure this is something to brag about?

I always wondered what the ball peen hammer is for.

My time has come.

I'm what the aerospace industry calls a "surface enhancement engineer." A fancy way of calling me a peener. I mostly work with CNC air blast shot peening machines but the principle is essentially the same as a ball peen hammer.

Basically, hitting metal with hard ball causes little dimples to form on the surface of your work piece. Hit it a shit load of times and you get dimples all over. At the end of the day all those dimples help prevent stress fractures from forming.
- Would you prefer us to call you a peener?
Same for Soft face & double peen.
- Soft face is exactly what it says, it's got soft rubber faces, basically just a shrunk down rubber mallet. Use it on things you don't want to leave marks on.
  
  Double peen is basically just a soft face except one side is like a hard epoxy like material. Harder than the rubber side, still softer than a metal head would be.

Now I'm thinking of a hammer tier list. Milled face framing hammer is clearly S-tier because you get to leave your mark

Dead blow? I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

Fun hammer fact: it's called dead blow not because it's supremely powerful or anything, but because the head is usually full of loose material like BBs, and it causes the hammer to not bounce back as much, kinda like throwing a hackey sack at the floor
- I think you missed the reasoning behind the "dead" part.
  
  If the hammer doesn't bounce when it hits, it's not as lively, and lands like a dead body.

Rip my straight peen after coming out

The best one imo: the carpenter's hammer

Wikipedia translates it to claw hammer, but the built and functions are very different.

Well it does have a claw, but it specifically has the nail holder.

I have a 14" crescent wrench so there

Drawbar Hammer for my mill boys

What about square?

Some of these I can't even fathom what they are used for.

I"m going out on a limb and risk the engineers hammer is the tool used when everything else has already failed to separate, combine, detache, attache, couple, decouple, split or join.

Engineers hammer is used to smack things and see what happens. You're not meant to drive nails or shape metal with it, but it's used to do inspections.

For example, a structural engineer inspecting a truss bridge might go and smack every stringer or strut near the rivet to the beam to see what happens. If the strut jiggles a bit, then the rivet has loosened and might need to be replaced.

If a bit of steel is heavily rusted, the engie might belt it really hard to see if it breaks due to deep corrosion, or if it's just surface rust.

The sound you get from smacking a bit of steel can also tell you about the material, good steel will bong and reverb, bad steel will be dull and not reverb.
- So it's like kicking the tires on a car, but with a college degree.
