It looks ok to practice with. Of course quality isn't that great. I prefer my Martin set. Check Harbor Freight, see what they got

check harbor freight. I still use my harbor freight set for the "beat the ever living crap out of it" type of work. Martin makes a good hammer, and i have quite a few of them, but im not gonna use up a 25 dollar hammer where a 2 dollar hammer will work just as good.

Big bolts from the railroad work good too for that kind of work! HAHA! Todd |

Martin is a very good brand for hammer and dollies. Another thing you will want to get if you get serious into metal work is a slapper and a shrinking disc. I have in no way mastered either of these but they are great tools. I rarely use a hammer after being introduced to slappers. And the shrinking disc is by far the easiest and safest way to shrink.

there are many many different types hammers & dollies for different uses in the body shop - a short curve cross pein hammer - shrinking hammer - body file 9 teeth per inch- shrinking slapper - toe dolly- general purpose type dolly . these would cover pretty much what you would encounter ,
