That should be good.

My friend Lonny is pretty fond of post mauls....at least I think he is..... he uses one an awful lot. Ha

Maybe he'll chime in.



I have several old or different hammers.
I think I'll take some pix tomorrow and start a "Hammer Time" thread.

Years back, they talked about welding a new face on hammers? I have no idea if that would work.

Stilletto makes titanium framing hammers with replaceable smooth or waffle faces.

How heavy?

What’s that head weigh?

Well, fellas.....I skipped out to the shop just now and weighed it.

Only to find the weight stamped into the head afterwards.

You can just make out a 16 still. And it weighed a bit over that with the handle.


Beall Bros. Alton Ill.

I looked them up and they were a mining tool manufacturer.

Might make sense.....Grandpa was a coal miner for a little while. He did not like it.

There is an old under ground coal mine south east of my house.

That mushroom shows some serious use.

THOR !!!!

And them boys swung that fugger all day long, I swing it about 10 times and I'm ready for a rest.

In 1872 Edmond Beall and his brother, Charles, pooled $75 to co-found Beall Brothers Shovel Company later to become Beall Brothers Manufacturing. By 1907 they had built their enterprise into the largest manufacturer of miner's tools, railroad implements and heavy equipment in the United States. Mr. Beall was also President of the Home Building and Loan Association of Alton.

The Honorable Mr. Beall started his political career as an Alderman of the 4th ward. He became the head of the streets and alleys committee and spearheaded legislation to get the streets of Alton paved with brick. “He is considered the man who pulled Alton out of the mud by spearheading the paving of streets and roads throughout the city.” —Centennial History of madison County, Volume II, Published 1912, pg.852-855.
