Well, after the Widlerizer, I decided to find some more good names for hammers. My favorite so far is probably dr.diesel's "High Speed Linear Adjustment Device?"

Any more you guys can think of?

On that note, "drum stick"?

Gentle Persuasion.

there is no limit as to how soft you can hit, but a definite upper limit.

Any particular theme?

For example...
iSmash for Apple fans.
Mjölnir if you're a Thor fan.
"The Judge" has a rather permanent sense about it.
Maxwell's Silver Hammer (Beatles song, from Abbey Road album).

Since Asgard is so over the top... I really prefer antagonists who are low key.

In the construction business around here larger ones are referred to as "motivators".

"motivators" sounds good...

I worked in a warranty service shop where they called it a "Sansui Alignment Tool".

A friend of mine refers to hammers, especially anything greater than 2lb as "Swing presses">

"knockometer"

Generally "fucking hammer" as in: "Where did I leave my fucking hammer?!"

Dufalator

BFH

My Dad used to refer to the hammer as an "American Screwdriver", my US colleagues feel free to return the favour!

I refer to it as a fine adjustment device

Universal adjuster tool. Equaliser.I have heard them referred to as an Irish screwdriver and A Scottish chisel, or Scottish spanner.

My hammer's have always been called "heavy Harry" taken from my metal work teacher at college, Mr Neale (Sarge). He served for the Australian army as an engineer in the Vietnam war. He had some stories to tell.

My favorite in this thread so far has to be Gentle Persuasion. That is a hilarious name for a hammer, and I think I will adopt it. My usual hammer nickname is BFH, which I also rather like, but I have definitely had more occasions for some Gentle Persuasion than for a BFH.

Exactly. Who was it that fixed a Keithley 2015 with a hammer?
