I use then all the time along with many other's tools and my own the I've made. Phil, You are handy enough to be making your own creasers and punches. yea? Phantom

Jason Maki OFFLINE Master Posts: 2260 Karma: 1	The e-head punch left my Mustad E3S sitting up a little to much. I needed to buck the punch up a scunch. I have three of the fullers, the slim, the standard and the wide, and the make a nice crease. It took me a little tinkering to drive them so I could make a nice set in at the top of the crease. That may well have been piloting and not the tool... Jason

I had an old Heller machinest hammer that I did the all of my punching with, but I really wanted to retire it so I bought and tried a lot of other hammers, but the Flatland hammers were the only ones I found that locked down on a top tool like that old Heller.

1.5 and 2 pound rounding hammers and a creaser. The best tools I have.
I had a tiny problem with the first hammer I bought, and they took way better care of me than I would have expected anyone to.
I plan on getting a new tool every month or so from them now.
Check out their site, they now have urban warfare equipment too. If you get to speak to Kathlene, tell her you saw her on the guns-n-babes site.

Rick Burten OFFLINE Enforcer Posts: 9082 Thank you received: 50 Karma: 8	I use a Blurton and a Poor driving hammer and I tend to opt for the Blurton. My rounding hammer is from Flatland Forge and it beats(sorry for the unintended pun) anything else I have ever used. The tools may seem a bit pricey, but they are worth every cent paid.
