I was wondering what you are using to crease standard ball pein hammer. I have heard of using an air chisel if so what brand thanks.

If you want to use an air hammer, don't try with a elchepo brand it requires a little more punch than they will provide. make a ball pein style head for it. Or some blood sweat and tears with regular hammers will work also.

Any normal hammer will work, I think the ball peen hammers do help. But if you do it by hand, plan on spending a long time hammering.

I use snap on air hammer with hammer bit. Takes me an hr to do a whole car. Just have to watch so you don't tear the metal

I've creased cars before with a ball pien just looking for an easier way to do it. I have had a friend use a kobalt air hammer with the end of a bal pien welded on an old cheisel bit but didn't work at all might have been the kobalt air hammer?

I've used a hitch with a 1 7/8 ball on it that seemed to make it work faster getting it started

Dual hammers work. But, I would also suggest a cheap bodyshop type dolly set, to help with forming your crease.

air hammer with a hammer bit. quick, easy, almost takes no effort, just watch so you dont tear sheet metal. unless you like to spend time hammering on a car all day, then use a ball peen hammer

I use a 40oz ball pein hammer, a 6 pound mini sledge, and a dolly from a body tool set. No air hammer at all, I need the workout.
