hammer and dolly
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi i could do with a half decent hammer and dolly sent, i don't want to brake the bank but i don't want a piece of shit! there is a cupel on ebay but the look a bit poo.

What could you recommend?

Cheers

i have a clarke fibrebglass handle set and a old expensive sykes set i inherited and the quality on the face of it is comparable

I have this set:

been pretty goof so far, but I don't do much more than hammering lips back into shape and things like that

What will you be using it for exactly?

I seriously doubt it!

genral 'mini' use, shaping repair panels, bit of dent removal, re'skining doors, that kind or carry on.

cheers

Sykes Pickavant are my favourite of any 'bought' panel tools, though I prefer my home made ones.
Dont use a hammer for door skinning, use a boxwood mallet as it has a larger face which moves more of the flange per blow which means less blows and less damage/marks on the skin.

I seriously doubt it!

Cheers paul,

I wouldnt use it personally

I seriously doubt it!

the door skin pliers are a bit pricey (especially as most enthusiasts will prob only need to use them once or twice) but they do make light work of it

with a bit of care, you can just hammer them over though
