What is a Bumping Dolly used for?
Just like a bumping hammer the dolly is just as important in body repair. Dollies are used to back the metal that is being shaped. Carefully placed dollies help control the direction the metal moves as the hammer taps from the other side. Working a dent backward helps it return to its original shape. Sometimes it requires working areas in sections. Dollies come in many shapes and contour to better match the original panel shape. Like hammers they can be put in several categories. These are the following, Anvil, round, toe, shoe, heel, utility and general purpose.

What is a Bumping Hammer? Let's define what a bumping hammer is. When most people think of a hammer they might believe it is a tool used to hit something with a lot of force. Like a sledge hammer. Or they might think of a carpenter hammer or the old trustee ball peen that was in your grandfather,s tool box under the basement work bench. Today one of the most widely used tools by mankind is the hammer. It could also be said it is the oldest tool used as well. But things evolve. The hammer is no exception. Still in the same basic form the hammer has become very specialized. From heavy forge hammers to light watchmaker hammers, there is a hammer for almost any application needed today. Bumping hammers are very specialized and are used to return metal back to it's original shape and condition if you are doing body panel repair. They are also used to shape custom fabrications. A custom motor cycle fuel tank for example. |
