Impressive Service Tool for Automotive

I have always been interested in quality automotive tools, and this service hammer stood out to me. Based on my experience it is highly durable and has been useful in fixing tire issues. The hammer has a solid grip, and I found it easy to HANDLE while working on my car. The only downside is that it may seem heavy for some people..

Pros
  • High durability, solid grip, useful for fixing tire issues.
Cons
  • May be heavy for some users.

Wheel bead surface damage

A hammer was used to break the bead of a size 20 10 10 tire The depth cannot be controlled so the hammer contacted and damaged the surface of the wheel when the bead broke . This resulted in time spent grinding and smoothing out the resulting dents and crevices so that the new tire bead would fit snugly. Hammer accomplished the intended task by breaking the pearl; However, if your aim and control are no better than mine, be prepared to repair the wheel rim surface.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Difficult to see
