What do you use the second peen for?
Peenetration
Drawbar Hammer for my mill boys
speaking of double peen, does anyone remember the “double dick dude” of reddit who turned out to be a fraud?
That is indeed what I was referring to!
What about square?
They forgot “water”
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 river to the beam to see what happens. If the strut jiggles a bit, then the river has loosened and might need to be replaced.
If a bit of steel is heavily rusted, the engine 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.
And today I learned.
I have a 14" crescent wrench so there

Lol peen
Omg DOUBLE PEEN
Big Peen doesn’t want you to know about it
Oh you, Peen Peen. You’re so crazy…
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.
Remember, every 27th customer gets a ball-peen hammer free!
At the hardware store?
I’ve heard they have matching salt and pepper shaker?
I have a straight peen most of the time.
That must be awkward when you’re walking around.
