We have (well, my dad has) Martin and Snap-On hammers and dollies. He's had most of them for many years. They both seem to make quality pieces.

One of the guys that works for my dad lost one of his Snap-On dollies and had to replace it the other day - I couldn't believe how much it cost. Thankfully, I get to use all of the tools dad has collected for the last 40 yrs.

I think Snap On body hammers may be made by Martin.

Snap on sells a general purpose hammer that is the best one on the market. It is perfectly balanced and has a decent crown. I have 4.

Not to get off topic, but how about a quick tutorial from you body guys on the circumstances where you'd use a certain style of hammer and dolley over another?
