Default Panelbeater bages and hammers

I have been looking into getting a beater bag and a couple hammers. Where is the best place to order one. Been looking on ebay and a few places like eastwood but was wondering if there was a better place and deal to be had.

I'd recommend Jerry Gulley (Gulley Performance) or Dagger Tools.

&

www.daggertools.com

As Kerry said, that's likely where I would start. Unless you're mainly working aluminum, you might be best to avoid the lightweight plastic hammers though.

I didn't know Gulley had his website up Tim. Thanks for posting the link.

I'm pretty sure that most of Gulley's stuff is US made also,

I made leather sand bag from some leather I bought on Ebay, it came out OK. Then I bought one at HF for under $10 (10-12" dia.) It has worked great. I even bought a 6" for less then $5 for my Bammbamm.
As far has Hammers I made one with interchangeable heads. I also have a couple of baseball bats that I picked up at a garage sale for 10 cents that I plan to make hammers out of.

I like dagger tools. They have some dollies in shapes Ive yet to find anywhere else. My favorite two dollies are from dagger.

Have their 18" beater bag, leather is nice and heavy.

Good quality tools at a good price...Eric
