No, these are electrician's hammers

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Anything is a hammer to an electrician, including their fists.

Am electrician. Have taken off boot to use as hammer.

Pliers for a wrench
Wrench for a hammer
Hammer's everything else

Truly is one of the most versatile tools to own.

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

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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.

It's there under "power hammer"

Yeah but that one is like tiny af. I want big hammer boom boom.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] almost1337@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, this is how shields and armor were made, as planishing doesn't thin out the metal so much.

[–] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

Also missing is MC.

[–] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Why is it called a ball peen hammer?

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

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

[–] almost1337@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What do you use the second peen for?

I always wondered what the ball peen hammer is for.

[–] Rentoraa@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Would you prefer us to call you a peener?

[–] Rentoraa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Well it is the correct term. It's also funny

The best one imo: the carpenter's hammer

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

What about square?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

And today I learned.

speaking of double peen, does anyone remember the "double dick dude" of reddit who turned out to be a fraud?
