I only buy top quality tools, and this Martin set did not disappoint. So much nicer than the cheap made in China set my neighbor has.

Been doing body work and paint for around 20 years. Have owned numerous hammers and dollys. Was using Snap-On Hickory hammers, till I got tired of a loose handle they kept fixing for free. There is a HUGE difference between wood and Fiberglass. Just like wood, there is also a difference between cheap and quality fiberglass. As I got this exact set 10 years ago, and used it practically everyday. Always tried to use minimal body filler even if it took an extra hour or two of metal work. Can't speak for other fiberglass hammers. BUT, these, are much more balanced then wood handled hammers, you can feel the metal better as you are striking it, and just have so much more control. These shouldn't be used where a 5 lb. hammer, pry bar, puller, or where a carpenter hammer is needed (you know when you get lazy and use the wrong tool for the job). These are for final hammer/dolly metal work. Two of my dollys have lost the logos due to use, and my favorite hammer same. The dollys have all radius true and smooth. Make no mistake, this is professional quality, and other shop owners that have tried mine ended up getting them for their shop.

These USA made tools. Yes they are costly, but you get what you pay for. I suspect I will hand these down to my son when I can't use them anymore. And I wouldn't be surprised if he hands them down to his son or daughter. I'm tired of throw away products, especially tools. I feel we should all buy the best we can afford. Products that are made by US workers and not the slave labor in some foreign land. I couldn't be happier with this tool kit. If you are serious about auto body repair, these are the tools for you...and your kids and perhaps even theirs.

It pays to get the name brand when it comes to hand tools. Very well balanced for fiberglass handles while the workmanship of the hammer faces is first rate. The dollies are made of a super heavy alloy so you can feel that your holding a real tool in you hands. Excellent product!

Just got them yesterday and the pick end of the 164fg hammer wasn't perfectly rounded. I was a little annoyed given how much they cost so I called the customer service # on martin's website. The person I spoke with in the tool and forge department couldn't have been more helpful! They are shipping me a new one ASAP at no cost and they don't even want the other one back. I assumed they'd want me to ship the messed up one back at my own expense and they would send me a new one once they had received the defective one. Sadly this is how many "lifetime" warranties work today, but the guy from martin told me that in cases where they want the damaged item back they still ship the replacement immediately and pay return shipping on the old one as well. This is how customer service should be done! With regard to the tools themselves, these hammers and dollies are every bit as nice as the set snap on sells for $510. I'm an autobody student so I get a large discount from snap on and even with tax and shipping these were still about $75 cheaper. Also you can't get the snap on set with fiberglass handles which are nearly unbreakable and are a lot thinner right below the head than hickory handles which can really be handy in tight spaces. A lot of people don't like the additional shock absorption of fiberglass vs. hickory as it does reduce the feel and feedback of the hammer but I'll gladly take that trade-off for the thinner handles. Needless to say the hassle-free customer service has sold me on martin tools and I will undoubtedly be buying more of their body tools in the future...
