@@kd3283 So I guess you do not understand what a "dead blow" hammer is. The fact that these can be remade is a big money saver and shows how to be self-reliant.

Popular to use a lead hammer for “knock of rims” my uncle once had a 63 vette with knock of rims. Was also popular in the low rider scene and a few other notable car cultures. Was recommended to keep the lead hammer in the vehicle to make sure the rim were tight from time to time
Jeez... where'd you find that and the other pencil sharpeners??? Vintage stuff like this... kinda steampunky? I like it. Also, Mr. R&R... I miss you and your full length videos.

Fun fact. Some older Ferraris with single lugs came with a lead hammer to hit the lug wrench with if you needed to change to a spare. Used one a long time ago. They cost like $700 too
If you need to hit something hard but don't want it to deform. Because lead is softer than most metals the hammer will deform before the object your hitting. then the hammer can be cast again and again once it loses its shape.
I know it probably works fine as a hammer but why am i reminded of that futurama episode where the robot devil plays a solid gold fiddle and fry is like, "wouldn't a solid gold fiddle weigh hundreds of pounds and sound terrible?"
Glad there’s still other futurama lovers :) I’ve watched the show 20 times over during my childhood and now anytime an episode comes on I can tell you everything that’s gonna happen hahaha. Now I like it most to fall asleep too. It’s one of my all time favorite shows and it actually has a lot of real world problems/knowledge in it. I always learn something and say hey that was from futurama hahahaha.
@@radicaledward3783 namely the "knock off" wheels like you would see on early mid 60s corvettes or cobras or any euro sports car that doesn't have traditional wheel lug nuts or bolts. They use this to tighten the one big fastener without damaging it.
It’s a very important niche tool, and can be recasted every time the striking surface is deformed. It’s like having a magical repairable new hammer anytime you want, just need some heat to re melt the lead and the casting form
Ive seen this or a tin/aluminum hammer idk which exactly, used for lowrider wheels when turning the middle cap. It damages the hammer instead of your rim.
I make hammers from lead, wheel weights, brass and copper. I have molds that I made from new hammers of different sizes. These softer metal hammers are useful for when you need to apply some force or do a little pesuading without dinging up your work. I also have a couple of smaller ones that I made from wheel weights, brass and tin that I use as stamping mallets.
I remember making these when I was in high school machine shop. We had a forge and were able to do everything (in the 70's)... Now if they even had shop classes, they would worry that you are ingesting harmful chemicals.
Really wish I had this, although the most sensible application would be in a large, busy shop or plant. The handle seems a forging, and based on what seems to be the volume of the melt, inside the head there must be steel armature, as well.
A lead hammer is good for loosening nails and tapping things you don't want to damage, because the metal is so soft. I have both a lead hammer and a copper hammer.
My dad taught me how to refill the lead hammer when the ends began splitting. Heat up the lead with acetylene let the lead drip out into a ladel, heat that up, then pour it back into the hammer culdener end, flip it over and do it again, then nope it on an anvil and the lead will grip the metal. Of course it's easier if you have a machine shop like I do but anyone can do this.
If you hit something with a hammer that is of a softer material that what you are making you are less likely to damage it, while still being able to apply force to it. That considered, this could be actually pretty useful.
Lead Mallets are ideal for Sheet Metal Fabrication, Automotive Repairs, Oil Industry, Defence, Construction Applications, and more. All-purpose Lead mallet ideal for applications where a steelhead is unsuitable.
Just so everyone here can hopefully avoid issues later: there is no safe level of lead exposure. All amounts of lead exposure is damaging, especially to the brain.
For when you wanna hit something really soft really hard
