The body hammer is an essential tool in the automotive workshop, designed specifically for repair and adjustment work on metal surfaces on the body of vehicles.
This particular model is a chipping hammer that has a domed back, allowing for shaping and smoothing work on curved areas or irregular surfaces.
Its head is made of high-strength steel, guaranteeing durability and effectiveness in each blow.
The handle, usually made of wood or fiberglass, is designed to absorb impacts and provide a comfortable, secure grip for the user.
This hammer is ideal for dent-smoothing, smoothing, and shaping body panels, making it an indispensable tool for professionals in the automotive sector.
Recommendations for Use:
Use the hammer in conjunction with a dolly for best dent repair results.
Perform controlled and precise blows, avoiding applying too much force to avoid damaging the body panel.
Start working from the outer edges of the dent toward the center to avoid unnecessary stretching of the metal.
Always wear personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, to avoid injury during use.
Keep the hammer clean and free of metal debris to ensure proper functioning and avoid damage to the work surface.
Maintenance Recommendations:
Clean the hammer after each use to remove dust, grease and metal debris that may accumulate on the hammer head.
Periodically check the connection between the head and the handle to ensure that it is firm and does not present movements that compromise the safety of the user.
Store the hammer in a dry place protected from humidity to avoid corrosion of the steel, thus prolonging the useful life of the tool.
