Body Hammers
Long Pick Hammer
Precautions: Choosing the correct hammer for the job will increase productivity. Choosing the wrong hammer for the job will slow down productivity and can create more damage to the panel. Hardened hammers like body hammers should never be use to hit a hardened surface, doing so will damage the tools and may also shatter into small slivers creating a dangerous situation with flying debris.
Usage: The long pick hammer is used in conjunction with a dolly in a hammer off dolly, or hammer on dolly technique, to remove small dents. The long pick allows for access in deep narrow areas. You will notice each hammer has a specific design which allows the technician to pick and choose which hammer will be best for a given task.
Short Pick Hammer
Usage: The short pick hammer is used in tight areas where the normal pick hammer is too long.
