Martin 692K 25 Piece Body and Fender Repair Tool Set

Perfectly weighted hammers, the dollies look like jewelery, and the set is built for a lifetime of use. This beautiful set is one I could hand down to my kid. I haven't used everything in the set, but what I have used is simply above reproach. This is a set for any gearhead looking to buy the best, who understands that quality tools make one's work both easier AND better.I have read some complaints about the book "The Key to Metal Bumping" because they feel it's out-of-date. I disagree completely, even though it's a very old book, originally dating back to the '30s. It would be nice if it was a bit larger, but most of what one will learn about that skill will be learned hands-on, and no book can teach you that.The title I gave this review would seem the price is a negative, but it's not. Either you value quality tools made in the USA by people making a fair wage, or you don't. I do value that greatly, so I see that as the cost of doing business. If I had one negative thing to say about it, it's that the toolbox (a Waterloo) is made in China. However, the box seems very well made.

Good quality, usefull to have. But honestly If you're a panel beater at a shop, you are probably going to end up using 3 hammers and 2 dollys out this kit. But to each his own
