Below are photos of using the Marlin Spike 
I used the head of the spike in conjunction with the spoon- like this- to level up and planish out this Gray & Davis headlamp.  Ever so rarely will I need to "pick" up a tiny low spot, and rather than banging around with something heavy and clumsy, I use the spike like this. Very accurate method uses inertia to lift up those teensies- a method used by some pretty sophisticated metalmen, I might add.  Used like this, the spike becomes a mini-hammer to reach deep inside narrow openings and ding out those dents. And then I use the combination of spoon and spike to planish all the way out to a nice finish.  Go ahead and use it as a punch or driver. The head is oversized so I never have to look when striking it, and that keeps my attention on hitting the dang target! |
