DrKerry Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 This is in the road around the corner from my house. My wife and I walk by it from time to time and I always wanted to get a pic of it. Halloween night we were walking and I actually had the camera with me so I finally took a pic of it...
cobraman Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Looks like a nice old ball peen hammer. : )
DrKerry Posted November 23, 2013 Author Posted November 23, 2013 Get a jack hammer and dig her out???? LMBO
ScaleDale Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 My wife has one of those. It's not "preserved", though. I'm not allowed to use it. Dale
PappyD340 Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 well I have to say that is quite unusual for sure, first time I have ever seen a hammer as part of the street, is the street named Hammer Drive?
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 That's really wild. I think I'd have to save it, free it from its tarmac prison and let it return to joyful hammering. I'm weird.
BKcustoms Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 That's pretty interesting, I'd like to know how it got there.
Pete J. Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Kind of an interesting hammer to see in the pavement. Ball peen hammers are not all that common. For those who don't know, they are a metal working hammer. I've used them at the forge when I was a kid, for expanding metal and bending it for curves. I also used them for riveting. I still have one and a box of copper rivets and washers, in case I ever have to rivet something together.
DrKerry Posted November 24, 2013 Author Posted November 24, 2013 Not Hammer Drive, lmbo It's been there for a few years now. Most we can figure is it may have fallen off of a truck during paving or just a truck driving down the street!!
Nxr Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Stop. It's Hammer time. Looks like a Soviet hammer my grandparents let me use when i was about 8 or 9 years old building wooden chairs. Edited November 24, 2013 by Nxr
chevyfever2009 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Maybe the guy put it there so he wouldn't have to do the honey to do list
ToyLvr Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 My Dad helped a friend of his pour a new concrete porch nearly 40 years ago. Somewhere in the midst of this, my Dad dropped a trowel in the concrete, and it got covered up. When they removed the forms, the end of the handle was visible from the side edge of the new slab. To this day, it's still visible, if you know where to look. These weird little things happen all the time when working with concrete. In the case of this ballpeen hammer, I wonder if they used it to thump Jimmy Hoffa on the head before they poured the concrete on top of him??? :-0
