This metalworking tool is highly effective for smoothing and planishing sheet metal. A body hammer does a good job, but the slapper covers five times the area, and with every blow it knocks two high spots down while lifting a low spot up. Fastest most efficient hand tool ever made for smoothing wrinkled metal. Hardened spring steel and it leaves no marks. Only shiny spots. Great balance in the hand, too.

"Spoons" are forged curved hand tools that are used for finishing sheet metal work. Sometimes they are used between the hammer and the sheet metal to avoid marking the metal with the hammer. Other times the spoon hits the metal directly, smoothing it during the finishing process. This spoon is forged spring steel and has excellent balance for doing high quality finish work.
