Question

post-test
which of the following body hammers is the best option for working in sharp corners or around panel edges and bodylines?
a. bumping
b. cross peen
c. dinging
d. pick

Explanation:

To determine the best body hammer for sharp corners, panel edges, and bodylines, we analyze each option:

• A. Bumping: Used for general shaping, not ideal for sharp areas.
• B. Cross peen: Designed for precision work in tight, angular spaces (sharp corners, edges).
• C. Dinging: For minor dents, not specialized for edges/corners.
• D. Pick: For creating holes or lifting dents, not for edge work.

The cross peen hammer’s design (narrow, angled peen) makes it suitable for working in sharp, confined areas like panel edges and bodylines.

Answer:

B. Cross peen
