Hoosier Daddy
Earache my eye...
Hellofa good buy for $20! Those Hammers and Dollies will prove to be priceless the more sheetmetal work you do. And honestly should last you a lifetime. Mine were passed down to me from my Step-Dad and he used them in the '50s to work on Hot-Rods.
Each shape has a specific purpose and the more you use them the better you will get at it. I'm sure there are videos on You-Tube on how to use them but it really is a dieing art.
You probably know to use the Dollies inside to actually hammer against right? That explains all their odd shapes, to get into tight spots and get the contours you desire. The hammer on the right in your set with the point is a shrinking hammer. Not only can you get in tight spots with it, but after you pound on steel with the flat faced ones it thins out and actually stretches. You can bring it bach to size with a bunch of light taps with the point and it also gives Bondo some irregularities to stick to.
