riveting hammers are the bomb if u actually gotta set solid rivets, set the head real fast with the flat face and then flip to the chisel peen to spread it out a bit in a controlled way if u gotta, flip back to smooth the face and make it pretty

threaded connections are wonderful in principle EXCEPT standard industrial threading dies are designed for steel so softer metals do very poorly at smaller scales where the threads are very fine. it is a problem.

I think about ball peen hammers every time some goon is all like "I will smash the poo poo out of [something] with a [some kind of] hammer". It's ALWAYS a ball peen hammer, no exceptions, I think maybe it's because they don't really know what a peening hammer is and they think it sounds tough or something? There are lots of other hammers out there that are way better at destroying things, goons :catstare:
