PEDDINGHAUS HAMMER

Marking: "300" Cogwheel, note: gear had 13 cogs

Size: "The handles were up to 300mm in length and made from either ash or hickory to DIN standard 5111." -R.A.

Early Hammers with the DIN marking did not have the "DIN" engraved in the face of the hammer, rather they had a "DIN 1041" Decal applied to the hammer as evidenced by these photos courtesy of Victor Ingram. Note that there are 13 cogs on the cogwheel engraved on the hammer face. (Note: correction to # of cogs),

More common post-1960 Peddinghaus Hammer with "DIN 1041" marked on the face of the Hammer and "16" Cogs on the cogwheel engraved on the top of the hammer:

USES:

The long-discussed topic of the purpose of the hammer was concluded to be, to break the beads of the tube-type tires. Thanks to research provided by Victor Ingram, we see the Hammer utilized in several repairs in the 1954 Porsche Workshop Manual:

B13 Removing and Installing Door

T28 Renewing broken spring clamps

T33, T34 Installing wheel weights

L35, L36 Starter repair
