heritage 202 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I prefer using older tools..,I like the fact that there part of our trapping heritage and I image each one would have a real story to tell.......Micky is quite right, original trapping hammers are large and unwieldy meaning they can be difficult to uses at times but most people think there were only a few manufacturers with the size and shapes being much of a muchness..., this isn't the case, there were dozens of manufacturers and there are many different styles & patterns.......,I have a few original examples but the best is a " wednesbury " branded one and its much smaller (almost half the size ) of the brades / hytest / Trojan ect.... It makes the job much easier & I'd be lost without it ...... Quote Link to post
heritage 202 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I also have a Fourteenacre trap hammer that has been "tweaked" slightly...I cut down the blade & head, added a peg cleaning hole & enlarged the chain pulling slot.....it now suits my needs perfectly.I suppose its each to there own but at the end of the day if it works for you it's all good.......Atb Quote Link to post
