"4oz ball pein" what was the troll about?
well it wasnt a troll it was a serious question. locally in a year of searching I havent seen a single solitary 4oz ball pein anywhere I've looked. the purpose was/is to do the metal forming on a set of replacement cowlings for an Auster J1b. these are out of aluminium with a rolled wire edge. my two little ball pein hammers are superb for the way I work but with lots of use they have rougher faces than what I'd like. what I wanted was some new hammers that I could polish the faces on exclusively for aircraft metal work. from the links that you guys posted I'm green with envy :-) at the sheer diversity of tools you guys have in america. what are we coming to in australia when you can only buy 4oz ball pein hammers mail order from america. rolls eyes when I started out to get some new ones I would never have believed that in a year of looking I'd be able to say that I still havent found any. thanks Stealth Pilot |

The tools RS sells are usually good quality. Try p/n 251-520. I dont know where you are but they've got trade counters in most cap cities and do phone orders & the online thing as well. Dont know if this helps. |

There are very few places I know of here (Australia) that sell much more than crap chinese tools. I dont know what your background is but you probably didnt look at RS as they are primarily an electronics/electrical supplier. |

Got a jewellers supply mail order outfit around? They are likely to have the smaller size hammers. Cheers Trevor Jones |

They make $18.35 (USD) 4oz Ball Peens, and even more expensive 2oz ones for $18.45 (USD). 4oz http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....ID=9118&group_ ID=1053&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog 2oz http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....ID=9116&group_ ID=1053&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog (If the links don't work, just go to snapon.com and search.) However, with their prices it might be cheaper flying to the US to buy one. As another poster noted, I'm sure if you snooped around sites that sell jewelry tools and supplies, you'd find them locally. The Auster looks like it'll be fun. http://images.google.com/images?ie=U...20J1b&um=1&sa= N&tab=wi Would love to see some shots of the one your working on... you can put them up in the drop box, and post a link to them here. http://www.metalworking.com Erik |

Stealth Pilot I guess you know that RS moved office a year or so ago. I'm in Perth too, big coincidence! I went to the new store a couple of weeks back, think it was Collingwood St. This is a bit of a hot topic - a shirt load of posts on little hammers! |

m: I though it was made to scare of those pesky Jehova's Witnesses who like to wake you up at odd hours, then don't know when to leave. Subtle hints like, Leave, before I release the guard dogs goes right over their heads. Heh! I was clearing another 1/4 acre one day when the Jehosafreaks showed up. As they were getting out of their car (like a circus VW!), I walked the distance between us with the running chainsaw dangling from one hand, a cigarette hanging from my lips, and an oily, "Hah kin I hep you folks git back inter yer car?" Amazingly, they didn't need any help at all. LLoyd |

When they didn't answer, I offered to show them the electronic 'King James' version I had created for the Commodore 64.

I also told them that i wasn't interested in going across town to one of their meetings, and that I was 100% disabled, in a lot of painand needed to get home, and off my feet before I fell. They drove along side of me for a couple blocks, trying to talk to me. If they had followed me the last couple blocks I would have called the police. -- http://improve-usenet.org/index.html If you have broadband, your ISP may have a NNTP news server included in your account: http://www.usenettools.net/ISP.htm Sporadic E is the Earth's aluminum foil beanie for the 'global warming' sheep. |

Uncle's evangilistic Baptist Pastor was visiting so uncle let them in. Uncle and the Pastor listened for a bit and then tag teamed them with a Q&A session. I'd have loved to have been there. What is good for the sauce is good for the goose. I don't think they ever will be back. Wes |

They bothered all my neighbors, but left me & my retired dad alone. I was a one man tag team, having just finished reading the bible cover to cover seven times in a little over a year, to create the electronic version. -- http://improve-usenet.org/index.html If you have broadband, your ISP may have a NNTP news server included in your account: http://www.usenettools.net/ISP.htm Sporadic E is the Earth's aluminum foil beanie for the 'global warming' sheep. |
