At almost 43 I can say stop using your hands and work smart and be safe guys n gals. I have nerve damage in both my arms and hands from decades of using them as meat hammer's and also repeat use of large air impacts. It honestly isn't worth it and will only cause you at a bare minimum Arthritis.
Edit: I'm glad you called that Anti-Vibe hammer exactly what it was, a Drilling hammer. I have the Estwing version you were talking about and have had it probably close to 30 years now and it is my #1 hammer for driving crap out or chisling.
A great topic I own both like the both both hit and feel different on the blow snap on been making there dead blow since the late 80s and compothane owned by Stanley and black and decker made them for blue point
I work in a box hardware store and some of Estwings hammers are also made in Taiwan. Also prybars.
Incredible video brother. Thanks for sharing. I learned something new today about Hammers. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT brother
There is also Wilton too whom makes a few of Matco's hammers,the bash hammers.Engineered in the USA,Made in Mexico.I bought a set of these hammers,that is what the tag on them said engineered in USA made in Mexico.I still have my first hammer,a prograde brand I bought from Tractor supply and still use it,have not broken it yet although it is made in China
Great job slim. More videos like this.
I asked my Cornwell dealer about them and he said he’s never heard of them…. I have and I’ve only been a mechanic for 6 months lol😂
Love my Cornwell Big Blue Monster 3.5 ton floor jack. Best jack ever owned or used imo and would gladly take it over the $700+ Snap-On equivalent as I've already rebuilt several of them and my Monster STILL going strong. I paid $350 it yrs ago but guess it's around $550 now unfortunately.
The knowledge. Appriciate all the info. This was great. USA hammers... quite interesting. Thanks man.
Love your content dude!! Keep doing you and set the bar high on the competition. 👍🏼
Hey CP thanks for this video. Great timing, I am planning on getting one off the snap on truck tomorrow. Keep up the great work, its much appreciated.
Great video
I always look forward to your videos
Good Evening All: 👍 CP Thank you for the tutorial on hammers. Again I learned a lot from you on what goes into a hammer + the different types. Just as you stated in the video the application dictates what kind of hammer is required for the job. I basically have the same kind of hammer collection as you but I don't have any Thomas Cook. I guess it's time to go and pay a visit to the Godfather at JDTCO. Over the weekend I popped for a new ultra 4k TV & I was very happy to see Henry at the start of your video. With my new TV it looks like Henry is due for a shave, I can count his whiskers. Thanks again for all you do, TMP from N.J.
The ends credits are amazing 👏
CP!! Thanks for the video ❤
Gotta take care of the body! No hand hammering!! Trust me, as we age you’d be surprised how difficult things can get when the body has had enough (like lower back problems, for example). Buy the right tool and USE IT!! #CPforPresident
Man you really take the time to research the information and I like that you are getting it out to everyone that will listen. Great videos
I have snap on as well !! And love them BUT I recently purchased
A Wilton hammer the same company that makes vises
WOW what a game changer
The 4lb 16” is a beast I also bought the sledge hammers as well a 20 lb and a 8lb you should try one unbreakable life time warranty absolutely no vibration solid design love ‘em
Haven’t seen those, now I want to check them out.
Awesome video/content as always!
I've had the snap on ball pein hammer and really don't like how it hits, like you said the flex kills it. my go too hammer now have been then Wilton hammers.
I have a Estwing 4lb dilling hammer now that gives me maximum hitting power and will be getting a Snap-On for something that doesn't hurt my hand. I also have a no name rubber hammer.
The most important thing like you said is don't use your hand as a hammer. Don't hurt yourself doing with your hand what you could have done with a $7 no name rubber hammer.
Thanks again for sharing CP 🔧🔩
You the man CP!
No, I'm just another blue-collar worker!! But thank you 😊
Great video! I was reluctant to go for Snap-on, but using someone’s at work convinced me.
Im in the rust belt, had to do rear Subaru bearings, was beating on it with the biggest hammer I had, tried air hammer, slide hammer, no dice… THEN used the 32oz Snap-on ball peen for 50 seconds and the precision, the deadblow, it let me get it off and I was amazed to finally experience that brute force doesn’t always work. The Snap-on being half the weight of the other hammer I was using… so yeah, I’ve got the 40oz Snap-on ball peen on order. But my daily go to is the Mac antivibe 2pounder. All metal head, gives great hits, is comfortable, feels well balanced. Got lucky and found it on Facebook market brand new for half the price, will likely get the 4lb antivibe as well.
Glad to see that you have experienced the same Snap-On satisfaction that I have. If there is a better dead blow, I have not seen or used it. I wrote a couple of diatribes on this comment string that may interest you. I think that Snap-On does many things well and most of those are best, justifying to me the cost. But they are costly tools. Starrett is costly, but their machinist tools are the finest. This justifies the amount of Starrett that I own. Wilton vises are costly, but cheap vises don't perform like Wilton, so I own several.
Good tools don't make a good technician, but good technicians perform better with premium tools... And the satisfaction of a tool enhancing your effort instead of complicating your effort further justifies my attempt to only own and use the best.
Good stuff CP!
Good information and great visuals on different comparisons.
🤟🤟👍👍
Great video CP
My experience with Snap-On dead blow hammers is different than others commenting. I have been using the Snap-On dead blows for 35+ years. I started with the solid color versions. Snap-On had plastic issues back then that were corrected with the introduction of the two color current styles. I own about 15 of the Snap-On dead blow hammers in a variety of sizes in soft face, ball pien and brass or bronze face. For most mechanic, machine shop and woodworking tasks I prefer the dead blow hammers over conventional hammers. Snap-On readily and easily upgraded my failed plastic solid color hammers with the two color versions, and I haven't had any failure for the last 30ish years. I chose the Snap-On product, because they had the best weight to head size ratio of every competitor. I prefer a heavier smaller head. I purchased most of mine on Snap-On sales when Snap-On sales made them the least costly option of all premium tools. Snap-On may no longer be so generous.
Dead blow hammers are not always the best tool, so I keep conventional styles in the drawers as well. Stanley introduced the dead blow ball pien style probably 45 years ago. I own several Stanley dead blow plastic mallets that are inferior to Snap-On and dedicate them mostly to machine shop and woodshop specific machine and function tasks. I have tried, owned and given away most of the major premium brands. Some have been excellent tools, but are inferior to Snap-On in size, feel and function. I keep one MAC soft face dead blow only because it is my largest, seldom used and I picked it up for a song at a flea market. I don't like its skinny handle and small orange peel grip.
I purchase tools for my son's, sons-in-law and grandsons (currently 24). Some of them don't demand Snap-On quality or function, so I opt for more cost effective brands while still only purchasing premium tools. I like to purchase from the trade school and college surplus tool market to control costs. These tools are significantly discounted, often unused and are usually premium brands. I found a stash of Williams dead blow soft face hammers recently and bought all of them. They were all yellow and single color in the traditional Snap-On style. The plastic appears to be the same plastic used in the current Snap-On tools. This offered an extremely good value.
Proto tried a two size head style that I thought was a useless joke. They lost shot capacity for the big side and the enormous head made the small side virtually useless in close quarters. Nupla has sometimes undersized their fiberglass handles allowing the head to snap off. I purchased about 10 Nupla dead blow mallets on a big Fastenal or MSC promotion, but discovered they had a cheesey line under their name. These tools were about $10 and worth that cost, but are grossly inferior to other options. I have tried replaceable face styles, but found that I have only once upgraded a face. The extra cost and repairability non necessity makes this feature unimportant to me. I don't abuse my tools. If I ever destroy a Snap-On face, I will exchange it under warranty.
I never purchased one of those vintage Stanley dead blow ball pien hammers. I like my snap on versions so well that I bought most sizes (maybe all???). The Snap-On goofy looking head style takes warming up to, but they function very well. A drawback is the oversize plastic head width creates confined space interference. This is seldom an issue for me and the drawers are full of semi retired conventional ball pien hammers anyway.
Snap-On doesn't do everything best to my taste. I own and use other premium brands in those instances, but in general I prefer and use Snap-On for mechanic work. I am so accustomed to their wrenches, ratchets, sockets, hammers, pry bars and screw drivers that I even pack them in my portable kits. The fit, form, function and superior performance justifies the cost to me. I prefer trade specific premium brands for other trades mixing in Snap-On where their tool makes sense to me.
I am not a Snap-On purist, but I have not used or found a better dead blow design than Snap-On.
I always drive my punches and cold chisels with the Snap-On bronze face dead blow. This virtually eliminated chisel head mushrooming and gives a precise controlled hammer feel that a solid steel driver can't provide. This function makes that tool one of my most favorite.
I like the look of the no handle Nupla dead blow. It looks handy for the machine shop at the lathe chuck and the mill vise. I may need to shop for a new toy.
Great read appreciate the comment very informative
I made some errors in my dead blow diatribe. I thought that I had never heard of Trusty Cook, but my not so loved MAC is really a Matco and is made by Trusty Cook. I did some research into this brand. I briefly ran across Trusty Cook previously and was dismissive thinking that it was an inferior product. And I am a very satisfied Snap-On dead blow fan boy. I retired in 2017, and don't need to invest in anymore dead blow hammers for either of my shops for retirement hobby use. I learned that Trusty Cook supports the industrial CNC machine market (besides making dead blow hammers) and that we long used Trusty Cook spindle liners in our Mazak lathes. I did not purchase machine shop tooling and it never occurred to me where we sourced our spindle liners. Understanding now that Trusty Cook supplies NAPA, Cornwell, SK, Matco, and Estwing I have reconsidered their brand. I realize that it is a legitimate product and internet pricing justifies considering it against my beloved (though costly) Snap-On.
I don't know what has happened to SK. I spoke with their president (founding family) possibly 10 years ago. SK was attempting to re-enter the USA made tool market as a viable tool brand again. I still own some SK that I purchased decades ago and retired with Snap-On upgrades. I am not following SK and since I am not seeing it in the market I supposed the brand had gone defunct.
I enjoy purchasing and supporting my family members as they build their shops and/or progress through the trades. I purchase the grandsons a toolbox at age 2 and annually support filling the box with professional grade tools at Christmas, birthdays, etc. I also continue to buy for my sons and sons-in-law. I have a big brood, expecting to add grands number 35 and 36 shortly. I began my professional tool collecting at 14 when a Hilton Hotel construction contractor gifted us his job site personal tools before leaving town for the next major project. My father, brother and I split the gift. I cannot abide using inferior or marginal tools, and I recall well the cost and associated pain of building my tool collection as I entered the trades. I was less informed then, limited in funds and only beginning to understand the value of premium tools. I learned about premium tools, but my budget couldn't support owning them. I struggled with Craftsman grade tools in the 1970's, and gradually retired and replaced them with more functional and durable brands. My pockets are deeper now and I have long enjoyed owning the best brands for each trade that I dabble in. I generally prefer the premium brands for each particular trade. I pick up a lot of tools on the used market to stretch my spending budget. I expect to soon add grandsons-in-law to my gift lists.
I retired with an enormous investment in tools, and my spending habits have increased in retirement as I have more time to spend the hobby shops. I built 4600 SF for expanding mechanic, fabrication and machine shop space. This allowed me to convert my mixed use shop in the house to exclusively woodworking. For a tool fool like me, I am living the dream. Among my many retirement goals are to increase my experience and skill levels in various trades and have premium shop space and machinery to mentor my younger folk. I worked as a maintenance technician beginning in commercial facility maintenance for about 10 years and moving to industry for just shy of 35 years. Maintenance techs can become highly skilled in multiple trades, but this dilutes the capacity to excell in a specific trade. I have special interest to master machining and woodworking skills. Since the vast majority of my men are in or are destined for the trades and share my hobby interests, they are aggressively building and expanding their own shops. We share among ach other pretty freely. I have capacity that exceeds each of them in some areas, but each of the grown men have specific capacity or skill that exceed mine.
.Thank you for endorsing Trusty Cook. I will encourage the boys to consider this brand and potentially reduce some cost while enjoying a very acceptable tool.
Hey Paul,
I'm a novice, wouod you mind please informing me on when snap on do sales? I'm looking to buy my first ever snap on tools and a sale would be a massive help! I'm thinking perhaps they do a black friday tool deal?
Thanks,
Mark
Snap-On used to run sale fliers add via the industrial tool salesmen. I don't know if Snap-On ran the same tool truck sales. I knew my industrial salesman when I was employed, but he has also retired putting me currently out of the industrial sales loop. I suggest that you contact Snap-On and request contact information for the industrial rep in your area.
Snap-On truck route drivers are franchise owners and own the inventory on their truck. They meet Snap-On franchisee requirements and have some flexibility as independent contractors. A good (for the consumer) driver takes care of his route customers, but can do so at substantial personal risk. If he warrantees from his truck inventory he doesn't have that tool to sell at subsequent stops. He will get reimbursed for the tool when he turns it in, but he floats the cash flow in the meantime. The industrial route guys work for Snap-On and stock no inventory. I have done my warranty by a phone call and apart number. I would get my replacement tool UPS and the salesman would pick up the broken or damaged tool on his next visit. My industrial company employer wouldn't allow the production loss time for employees to visit a route truck, so the industrial salesman was my formal purchasing route.
Window shopping on the route truck is impressive, but my option was as to study the catalogs. I have purchased many new Snap-On tools through the industrial route salesman, but most of my Snap-On inventory was purchased from Craigslist, trade school dropout tools, pawn shops estate auctions and flea markets at a substantial price break. Buying used sometimes yields damaged tools, but warranty replacement is easier via the industrial sales route than the tool truck driver route for the reasons already explained. I have never purchased any Snap-On other than cash so I have never suffered under the route driver credit burden. I passed on a flawless hard handle 3/8 flex head long handle ratchet Friday at a flea market, because I have the same tool in soft handle. My son purchased the same tool for $100 after haggling a bit. I liked and wanted the tool, but I have too many similar versions to tempt me.
Snap-On doesn't get everything the best, but I prefer their wrenches, ratchets, sockets, dead blow over all other brands as well as many other tools in their brand line. I jump brands for features that I prefer. I like Proto pullers for their trim size and ease of use and own more Proto pullers than Snap-On for that reason. Knipex does pliers better than anyone and I have a lot of their tools. My Snap-On pliers stay in the drawer. Klein still satisfies me for electrical pliers and the cost savings keeps me loyal to Klein for that reason. Cheap and poorly functioning tools frustrate me for even the simplest tasks, so I don't even use them for that purpose. Even my camping trip tool kit is 95% Snap-On. Everyone has limits and limitations, but premium tools are a very high priority for me.
That antivibe hammer I have idk where it came from it just has blue coloring but it's my favorite
Would love to see this turn into a series of categories or subcategories of tools!
That's what our CP does all the time just stay tuned. Stay well, & have a profitable day, TMP from N.J.
Appreciate the honesty , I will go for the snap on ball peen
I just beat my brains out with a 48 oz Snap On dead blow trying to get an alloy wheel off my chebby. I need that big SK, or better yet the Trusty Cook version of it. Used spray neverseize on it this time. 😅
Still beaten with my hand ✋..Thanks Buddy..
I got 2 trusty cook hammer from Nick like 3 weeks ago for 32 oz and 50 oz there good hammers just wish the handel was just a bit larger but other wise a great hammer for the price from jdtco
I do need to upgrade from the harbor freight ones (I started with them) I’m thinking either the anti-vibes or the trusty crooks
I do feel like the snap on hammer feels more precise about what I’m aiming for when I’m striking something. Especially if I’m trying not damage something around the piece I’m striking
Nice review of your knockometers
Thanks man!! Lol
Great video
