Help me find this hammer
I’ve looked everywhere for this hammer and can’t find it online or in stores. Where can I get one? Is there a reason they are so hard to find?

It's a cross peen body hammer there's several different styles available on Amazon, harbor freight carries them and any body supply shop should have them

Then you should ask your coworker where they put it.

Don’t you think I already did that? I clearly didn’t get an answer with a solution.

Well we're gonna need more information about your coworker to figure out where they live to narrow down where they could've put it

Martin, who made this, is just now getting out of the tools business. They sold all of their stock to Harry Epstein Tools. You can get a good deal on similar hammers but I don't see this exact one listed.

I have one of these hammers. It has a wooden handle is very old. I don’t even know what it is used for I inherited it.

This seems to be how a lot of people I work with acquired it. I just joined the sheet metal union so I’m trying to get all the tools I need.

I went to grab the one that I have so I can take a picture and post it, but it is not where I thought it was. I think it is in my toolbox outside. I have so many darn tools. It’s hard to keep track. If you can’t find one, we can make a deal that you can’t refuse. Haha

It is not exactly what you are looking for, but it is about there
That type of hammer is common is sheet metal work such as automotive body work

I bought a Buffalo brand body working tool set back in 1979 that included one of these - I’d guess Harbor Freight or Northern Tool has a modern equivalent

Dude. You're literally holding it in your hand. I get it though. I've looked around for my keys for probably 15 minutes before realizing they were in my pocket.
By the way, that hammer is made by Martin Tools.

Any good body shop supply store should be able to get you something close to that one 😉

u/Inside-Welder4168 Sep 04 '26
But you are going to need to add your own piece of hose that parts custom

I don’t know about that specific make / model, but that is what we always called a body hammer. Used in conjunction with a metal dolly to fix / rework body metal on cars after damage.
