Out and about if needed I would use the hide side first and if it moved fine if not turn the hammer over. Remember to tighten only needs a medium weight tap as they self tighten, tap up to centralise wheel off ground, lower and a couple of Donks (technical term ;-)) to nip up and a hard brake first stop. Job done.

Thor double white nylon is the one for me. Keith at BHM introduced to me and if he uses one then that's good enough for me!!


Yup
Been using one for years, the nylon end caps have been used on dozens or cars when I was changing kingpins every month, never had an issue and current ones are at least 5 years old, probably older. The beauty is there is considerable weight so you don't have to swing hard like the smaller Thor hammers provided with the cars so less chance of a mis-hit and catching the wing! Up to each what they use of course.



I also use Thor double ended nylon hammers, a heavier one and smaller one in my toolkit in the car. Unless used a lot the nylon caps dont need replacing and my spinners arent marked by them. I also sometimes use a wooden spinner saver.
