"4oz ball pein" what was the troll about?

I found one Oz source

Looks like they have 3 types around $20 mark. The tools RS sells are usually good quality. Try p/n 251-520. I dont know where you are but they've got trade counters in most cap cities and do phone orders & the online thing as well. Dont know if this helps.

PS - I checked other places who I thought would have them (ie Blackwoods, Cooper Tools etc) and they did not stock anything. There are very few places I know of here (Australia) that sell much more than crap chinese tools. I dont know what your background is but you probably didnt look at RS as they are primarily an electronics/electrical supplier.

Considering the cost of global mail to AU from the real world (gd&r), that's a really decent value.

SP, if you're jealous of our tools, how do you feel about our politicians? Want some? I'll see if we can ship for FREE!

See if you can find a couple of the 3M Deburring wheels. $$ but worth it, as they do a wonderful job on knocking down edges and rough surfaces on hammer faces and on the peens.

Got a jewellers supply mail order outfit around? They are likely to have the smaller size hammers.

Googling the

This one might be a maybe but they don't like my security settings.

Sorry, I didn't realize earlier that you are in Austrailia. I know shipping prices suck since I looked into buying some vegemite for my mom who loves the stuff and was shocked by the shipping costs.

Hope this helps,

Australia. Sorry. should have spl chkd. ;) Wes

Is Austrailia that big trailer park where all the white trash live, or is it what the white trash guy says to the white trash girl when she says "Ausleavinya"?

Some? Shit, Larry, he can have 'em ALL! Starting from scratch might not be a bad thing.

Not "might not", John. Would not and could not.

Hmm ... hasn't Oz metricated? Why not look for a 113 gram one instead? :-)

Good luck, DoN.

I pretty sure $nap-On has dealers in Australia.

They make $18.35 (USD) 4oz Ball Peens, and even more expensive 2oz ones for $18.45 (USD).

4oz 2oz (If the links don't work, just go to snapon.com and search.)

However, with their prices it might be cheaper flying to the US to buy one. :)

As another poster noted, I'm sure if you snooped around sites that sell jewelry tools and supplies, you'd find them locally.

The Auster looks like it'll be fun.

Would love to see some shots of the one your working on... you can put them up in the drop box, and post a link to them here.

SOLD! Disgusting is a lot cheaper than total corruption and greed. We'll ship 'em to Perth and make them walk the Outback to get to wherever you want 'em. Start spreading the word that they taste just like chicken (or wombats, but much better than roo), wot?

Don't worry we've got the corruption & greed as well!

Den you may have solved my problem. There is one in Osborne park. I'll check their cattledog tomorrow at work.

Blackwoods were bought out by westfarmers as are Bunnings afaik. they have a business model based on 20% of stock doing 80% of the trade. so now they only stock the fast moving 20%. they have become a joke. their cattledog entries make no mention of head weights.

And he tells us that his Global Warming Carbon Tax will only add

0.9% to the cost of living. Oink Oink from the sky. Where will all that tax money go ??

Seriously, For OP my son says that the craft shop where DiL works on Sunday sells a small bp hammer, if in Perth area try Scrapbook Secrets in Maddington
