Harold Wray Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hate to say it but harbor freight has them for like $3.00. That's not helping the USA cause though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 The Proto Anti-Vibe ball peins I reviewed are truely awesome. I recommend getting at least 2 of them (one smaller, one larger). I have them in 8, 12, 16, 24, 40, and 48 oz. Go back and read my review on them. They are truely awesome! If you are going to get 2 I'd get a 12 and 24. 12 is you're most used size in general work but sometimes you need a 24 to knock the snot out of something. They are hard to find because the are brand new and most retailers are selling off the old before the order the new, but Trident Tools has them here: 12 oz. : http://www.trident-supply.com/12oz_Ball_Pein_Hammer_p/J1312AVP.htm 24 oz.: http://www.trident-supply.com/24oz_Ball_Pein_Hammer_p/J1324AVP.htm If you want to cover all bases, they also have a 4 piece set that has 8, 12, 16, and 24 oz. for $107. That will cover all bases for the rest of your life. http://www.trident-supply.com/4pc_Ball_Pein_Hammer_Set_08_12_16_24oz_p/j1304avps.htm Trust me man, these hammers kick ass! If you go to order them PM me. I have codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 These are some of the VERY few Proto items made in Taiwan, but don't let that sway you in this case. Proto makes 99% of their stuff in the USA. I'll let them slide on the hammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
