You know your a real man when you watch a 37 minute long video about hammers and enjoy every second of it

[@jdbordelon7752]

yep

[@jonpalange3292]

How the hell did I just watch a 40 minute video of a guy picking up hammers saying "I got this here" and am somehow entertained...? Is there something wrong with me..? Congrats on 700k subscribers, sir. You and Dave are a constant stream of inspiration. Keep up the great makes!

[@kmonnier]

agreed

[@s2pointoh]

+jon palange I was thinking the same thing!

[@hiroparadise8152]

naw man, jimmy is cool

[@jimmydiresta]

Haha thank you bro!

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Yes! ⚒

[@bobdickweed]

You should make a ..Pink Floyd...video with all them hammers...;-p

[@Dummythiccdakota]

I like how when he said that you shine your bal peen and never let it touch metal he put it back in the pile of hammers.

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

+Dakota Burke haha- it's for copper, any little knicks will translate and can even tear through when you stretch it.

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

+Eye Toldyoosso one of the greatest bands I do believe. 🤘🏻

[@bigdogbob845]

Love your tool collection Jimmy, the hammer that you called a roofing axe @ 4:29 is in reality a wall-board hammer for hanging drywall. It has a small notch to pull nails, a slightly rounded face for driving the cupped drywall nails, and of course an axe head to make rough cuts in the soft gypsum board.

[@jimmydiresta]

Yes I agree. I had a brain fart.

[@bigdogbob845]

Don't sweat the small stuff my friend, at my age (65) I attribute it to CRS (Can't Remember Shit), but it beats the alternative which is SFB (Shit For Brains) which I know you don't suffer from, but there is a lot of that going around these days. Peace Out..........

[@uncleandy7983]

Only Jimmy can make a 37 minute video about hammers interesting.

[@petrbalaz3999]

I can't belive, no hammer was found on the streets of New York? :D Also congrats for 700k! You are amazing and I love your work! :)

[@jimmydiresta]

there is one.. i cant it find in the shop... found in the middle of clinton streeet

[@joe708joe7]

+jimmydiresta did you find Hillarys emails under it?

[@petrbalaz3999]

Thanks for reply! I'm thinking about moving to New York and find some pretty stuff on the streets :)

[@jo-anncampeau4831]

never heard about you until a while ago, Been home bound after an operation and all I can do is watch TV and it got boring real fast. Found your videos and cant get enough about what you do. Youre an artist and a real craftman, thank you for sharing the knowledge and congrats for 700000 subs. cant wait for you to get into cars and bikes building. I can see a Indian Larry, Billy Lane Jessy james inspired bike coming out of your creative hands. Thanks again Sir! and if I take a bike ride to NYC I'll stop by to visit you. Humm I see I'm on my wifes account lol Mike

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you brother! yes all the above are my shop heros!

[@sosa57ful]

Beaucoup de français vous suive , ca serait bien d'activé les sou-titre merci . j'ai regarder tout vos vidéo.

[@jo-anncampeau4831]

Well youre getting right up there with them my friend. Hey I'll have to review the vid again, did I miss the famed hammer-beer bottle opener????

[@fall22123]

I'm glad to see you don't have any of those crappy orange dead blow hammers. I always hate it when I ask a new guy at work to get his dead blow and he pulls out one of those. My personal favorite is a Lixie dead blow. I was hoping you would have one. I actually bought 2 of the same one. I'm sure you of all people can understand why you would need more than one of the same tool from time to time. I'm a toolmaker and use them for working on molds and dies. Great video. Congratulations on your success.

[@w0mblemania]

I just smack on things with the butt of my cordless drill. Does the job every time. Gotta tell you though: cordless drills don't last long these days. I'm continuously having to buy new ones.

[@Phoenixx-vy7ln]

I wonder why 😂

[@jeffhill1966]

it must be why mine rattles.

[@markvankoersveld5881]

congrats on another milestone, what a sunset. must be so good having a workshop out in the country like that, great place to clear the mind.

[@PaulMeyette]

jimmy, I think it's funny when you showed us a hammer saying "we bought that on the job, because we didn't have a hammer" and you have more hammers than anyone I know! Cool video, great collection, congratulations on 700k brother. Continued success to you!

[@mbogo123]

Fun! At 12:40: blacksmith's hot punch. Made to be struck with a hammer. Handle is so your hand is safely away from hot metal and striking when you hit it.

[@NJFLIPPER]

Jimmy, Congrats on the 700K!!!! GREAT video!! I Love this type of video. I could listen to you talk all day man. Your voice has a certain quality, I can't explain it. You are New York's version of Morgan Freeman. : )

[@johnnylove-lace4153]

Just shows the charisma of Mr DIRESTA to make a video about hammers just as watchable as every video he produces. Hats off to you sir...

[@672egalaxie6]

Hear! Hear! I have I guess between 30 and 40 hammers and I thought mine was a large collection, but WOW !!

[@1puglife]

friggin rights you did! big big fan of the hammer bmp

[@videosbythe5]

Jimmy loves a good hammer bmp

[@davidiramills]

1Puglife likes the Hammer , Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

[@sadekausi]

the legend

[@jimmydiresta]

hahah yes!

[@andrewwilson8317]

I did pick up some unusual but beautiful tools at a sale, they turned out to be coopers tools. Very specialised carpentry tools,very well made and beautifully patinated. Feel very nice in the hand.

[@tailwheel65]

Can't believe I just watched 37 minutes of hammers.

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

@ 10:48, that tiny brass headed hammer is a jeweler's hammer. They're used especially when sizing rings. But they serve other purposes as well. FYI, I did gold and silver jewelry repairs/sizing for 4-5 years and that's the hammer all the jewelers have.

[@patrickjcreates]

At 24:30 I laughed way too hard when you said "tiny peen"

[@grandolddrummer]

Jeez man, grow up. *giggles uncontrollably*

[@danbrittain446]

"you can see how small it is in my hand"

[@Schorschiism]

Probably an egg hammer...

[@jaspertipper9649]

No a “real tiny peen”

[@danparris6497]

I’ve recently started restoring old hammers , very satisfying to see the difference . I’m a roofer and my day to day hammer is a 16oz straight claw estwing .

[@claytonsteckel]

My wife just stared at me when she asked what I was watching...A hammer video..duh!

[@jetjazz05]

I've used my brass harbor freight hammer so much since I bought it about two years ago the ends are almost as wide now as the middle, it's mushroomed out and shortened quite a bit. I use it especially when working on my car, really great to smash suspension parts with it because you don't have to worry about deforming the bolts or nuts you might be hitting. Well... as long as they're hardened steel that is. Cheese grade steel and aluminum though and all bets are off lol.

[@mikewest712]

So I picked up 7 old ball peen heads today, I immediately started reworking them and making handles. My name Mike, and I have a hammer addiction.

[@117nh]

You are not alone Mike

[@gertjanvandelogt7971]

i have the hammer sickness to mate

[@handmadeisbetter]

Thank YOU Jimmy for being that badass master builder that we love so much. You inspired me to build things and told me the value of craftsmanship. You are another 700k subs worth it. Thank you and many greetings from Germany!

[@josh6947]

I'm surprised you didn't find any of these "on the streets of New York". lol

[@zanejoseph627]

I just want to say I love your videos my dad is a carpenter and I have started to also work with wood and do little tinkering projects and every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to go make something because I love the feeling of creating something from nothing keep up the good work

[@aokspage]

hammer/ax at 4:30 is a drywallers hammer

[@iq00]

The strange looking "hammer" you used to remove handles from old hammers is blacksmith's hole punch.

[@MADMANMUSICINC]

Ok so while watching this was anyone else reminded of all of the times your Dad said to you "Boy you would tear up a hammer!" Lol!

[@marceaton3128]

I remember my grandfathers hammers all had nails banged into the top of them. This makes the sickness more clear for me now. When you move shops from the City up state it is going to be a nightmare. Congrats on the 700K, one million is right around the corner. And Jimmy, only you and you alone can make a hammer collection video that is 37 minutes interesting enough to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@badmanno.1650]

i watched hammers for 37 minutes.. and I don't regret it

[@gilthomas8020]

Excellent! Jimmy you made me dream every evenings from now i watch a movie of you and that's make me crazy all your material and all your capacities. Thanks you to share all of that with us! Continue like this, you are the best!

[@conorfitzpatrickdesign9616]

"A tiny peen, really small, you can see how small it looks in my hand" hahaha

[@NoCommercialPotential]

The small hammer you custom mounted with a skewer stick, I remounted mine using one of my vintage broken nipple drumsticks from my old Slingerland drum kit. Works great.

[@DJGutoLoureiro]

700k hammers !! Congrats !!

[@PrimoMotorSports]

You have no Idea how much I look forward to your videos. Keep them coming Brother!

[@ApicalisHD]

Who else thought he had 700k hammers?

[@Killzilla6]

me

[@МурикСаакян]

Me to)))

[@DopeItUp]

Not far off, all things considered.

[@hexadecimil]

me!

[@ImranZakhaev9]

xD

[@hizo64HH]

New Mexico loves you Jimmy!!

[@shalormckee2784]

Was it just me or was the sound quality awful?

[@cathalshannon5853]

Shalor McKee ye it’s you

[@yoimalex]

The hammers with the small heads that have a tapered heel that goes straight back to a strait edge...kinda like a tack hammer without the magnet. Thats a sheet metal or fabricating hammer. The HVAC guys and gals use them to manipulate duct work and panels back before things could be bought pre made.

[@victorfiori105]

Audio got a little distorted

[@ThunderDog]

When you build your shop, you need to make an EPIC WALL OF HAMMERS!!

[@crazethedave]

congrats on 700k Jimmy,but did I miss something or do you not have a single framing hammer

[@jimmydiresta]

I do have few. But they were evading the camera !!

[@rayd.5929]

one at 20:00

[@rayd.5929]

and 27:33

[@grandmajosephine383]

Jimmy, I feel you on the broken brass screws. What works for me is, ice pick the spot then run a steel screw same thread size to tap the hole. The brass screw then just glides in.

[@bananaguard5857]

Some constructive criticism you should have used a lav mic so the volume of your voice wouldn't vary so much and so abruptly

[@greghenry2080]

Thank you for continuing to inspire, Jimmy. You are much appreciated and valued.

[@TommoB123]

found this hammer on the streets of New York

[@MissCandyTattoo]

My fave tool is the very first hammer I was given by my step-dad. It's old and the head is rusted and I don't use it anymore but it's very special to me. One day I will restore it.

[@geoffmorris2778]

4.38 - dry wall plaster hammer

[@jimmydiresta]

yep you're correct

[@lwheelker157]

+jimmydiresta hey jimmy could you design a BBQ pit and make it that would be so awesome👍

[@Ohio_etsu-masu]

didn't have the chance to go back after the video ended and find which hammer was it, but one of the flathead hammers somewhere 'bout 1/3 in is a planishing hammer. it's made for straightening the surface of a metal armor in the forging process.

[@Squiddy12]

do you plan on doing any knife videos soon? absolutely love those

[@Cheezumz002]

Did one a while ago

[@Squiddy12]

+Cheezumz002 I meant another one lol

[@jonholt201]

He should make a railroad spike knife!

[@weaponmaster6264]

Congratulations on this major milestone!!!!! You deserve every single subscriber you have!!!! Always excited for the next video and always amazed by the amount of genius you have in your builds!!! Can't wait for the 800,000 subscriber video!! Good luck and keep building!!!

[@stilcrazychris]

DON'T u WISH they could talk & tell u they whole life..

[@davebauerart]

Yes, I did just watch a 37 minute video about hammers, time well spent. Nice collection, lots of cool yard sale finds in upstate New York.

[@mattg188]

Bruh I thought you meant you had 700,000 hammers😭

[@fouroakfarm]

I watched the video and he clearly does have 700,000 hammers

[@mattg188]

+Bike Man Dan 😅

[@69virgin1966]

Awesome video Jimmy! I'd say that you have a few hammers in your collection. Some of the older ones look pretty cool. Congrats on 700k. I'm sure you will get at least another 700k faster than the first. Thanks for sharing Roy

[@hunterwolfe8733]

i thought he had 700k hammers...

[@breathewell2461]

You Are More Than An Artist Sir , Outstanding Skills . May Your Works Reach Alll The Spots Alll Over The WORLD .

[@Zorgstein]

9:10-РУССКИЙ МОЛОТОК!

[@Zorgstein]

Nord Wokintos не обязательно! Обычный молоток в любой организации СССР...сапожный чуть меньше вроде был!

[@Borland06]

Да, даже немного необычно выглядит среди таких непривычных молотков)

[@stumblemonkey303]

Congratulations Jimmy. That weird roofing hammer at 4:30ish is a drywall hammer. The hatchet side is to demo drywall while the wide, flat head helps prevent penetrating the drywall while driving nails.

[@haredeenee]

why does this guy just slap his name on other peoples videos?

[@jimmydiresta]

that never happened. ever.

[@haredeenee]

Its a joke, because you put your name on everything, lol

[@brockbain8656]

Jimmy da real of content creator!

[@jimmydiresta]

respect. thank you

[@lwheelker157]

+jimmydiresta hey jimmy can you design a BBQ pit and make it that would be so cool?

[@jmadara]

I'm disappointed not one hammer was found on the streets of NYC! I dig all of the Estwing hammers. They are made in here in Rockford, IL!

[@stansbruv3169]

You might’ve gone from 700,000 to 800,000 subscribers during the duration of this video! Thanks for sharing. I watched every minute for some damn reason!

[@alsmith1025]

25:55. the second you pulled that one out it reminded me of the old hammers my dad had in our garage shop in Oceanside, NY. Super cool video. Congrats on 700,000. that mill mark is coming fast!!

[@RUBIZEN]

I think the Keen Kutter is a hewing hatchet. Thats why it's flat on one side. Used to turn round logs into square logs. Great vid!

[@jacewalton6677]

I got 13 minutes into this and realized.... What am I doing??!?? I am no longer just collecting old junk tools I'm watching someone collect old tools.... But it is Diresta so I keep watchin...

[@WanderingLostMC]

The small cross peens I know as a TInners hammer, were for tinsmith work. The Quickwerk "hammer" is a handled hot punch for smithing. The one after the geologists is a Cobblers hammer as well, and the Hammer before the slag hammer is very similar to a raising hammer, I've seen them sold as a seaming hammer for copper roofing work. The one after the Stanley tack hammer in the tool drawers appears to be something very similar to a Jeweler's riveting hammer, and the one on the skewer after it is like a goldsmith's hammer. Really nice "little" collection. Im certainly jealous of some of those

[@kallesvedin6811]

Jimmy is the only person who is interesting enough to make me watch a 40 minute lone video about hammers lol. Keep up the good work!

[@motoliterider]

I sometimes crave a crate hammer while opening some of these modern plastic packages.

[@antoniogurrola126]

I love your videos Jimmy . Thanks for your giving me great ideas and inspiration !

[@thejwalkr]

I glad to see Im not the only one with a hammer addiction.

[@jpwoodwork]

congratulation on 700K Brother, well deserved......onto a million + :)

[@lockman004]

I love hammers. I have quite a few. I never thought I could get enough hammer but I think this is like a Clockwork Orange aversion therapy session. Now when I look at a hammer I feel nothing..... Absolutely nothing.... I think I'm going to cry....

[@jimzivny1554]

Finally someone with more hammers than me! I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing. The Quickwerks hammer in your NYC shop was originally to be used in combination with another larger hammer to start driving holes in hot metal, also the hammer upstate that you said may have been used for railroad work with the very long hammer was for the same purpose, the extra long handle was to prevent your assistant from getting burned or hurt if the swing went wrong. I believe there was another upstate that your dad got you is for the same purpose. How about a video on restoring an Estwing with loose leather? Just an idea, I'm sure there are millions of them not being used because of that reason.

[@Retroweld]

Congrats Jimmy! Hammer time!!!

[@samthompson4068]

hi Jimmy, the claw hammer with the wooden handle you have at your workshop in new york, the one you like the shape of that came from a garage sale. that tapered head instead of the more bull nosed sort of shape commonly used by estwing is an English pattern hammer. all British made hammers where the same as that for many years. also well done, keep them coming, and keep us updated on the new workshop. Thanks for the knowledge! Sam.

[@63256325N]

That's really cool that you have hammers from when you were a kid, stuff your dad gave you. Nice to be able to look back. The older you get the more you appreciate it. Liked the long handled mauls, reminders me of a traveling circus and the hands driving the big top tent stakes.Thanks for the vid.

[@Nerdforge]

Does anyone have a hammer extra for Jimmy? I think he misses one! Jokes aside, great job and I wish you a million more ;)

[@MichaelNatrin]

Congrats on 700k. Love the drone shots and seeing your collection. I'm always amazed how you can upload a 37 minute video and it flies by since it's so interesting to hear your stories.

[@phatputer]

What surprises me is you are ONLY on 700k, out of all the videos that pop up on my list of new Videos the Diresta ones are usually the first to be clicked on and never missed.

[@francisbarnett]

Good effort, all your hording makes me feel so much better about all the tools and stuff i have.

[@dripfreefpv9695]

Every time I watch a hammer video I'm like why am I watching a hammer video, and when it's over I'm like damn I'm glad I watched that sweet hammer video.

[@VooDooTennessee]

The "quick work " hammer is a backsmith struck tool, a punch

[@nitramretep]

Great hammer collection, I think I have the same affinity for collecting tools as you! Never can have enough.......especially nice well made hand tools.

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

I watched the whole video. It was really nice to see the different types and the uses.

[@SparrowHawk183]

Well, I'm totally hammered now.

[@rondavis5557]

24:30, the way Jimmy said "tiny peen", brought my 13 year old snicker right out, your the best Jimmy!!! I started playing a drinking game where I would take a drink every time I saw a hammer I didn't know the purpose of....still sober, but I still enjoyed playing the game. Thanks for the entertainment Jimmy!

[@caskwith]

Great collection! The really tiny ball pein hammer is for watchmakers (jewellers might use it too) to set very small silver/gold rivets on watch cases and chains. I have one almost identical and it works great for that kind of work.

[@vanzbiker]

Just spent nearly 40 minutes completely enthralled by a video about a hammer collection... My wife thinks I'm insane XD Great video as always, Jimmy!

[@johnconklin9039]

I just picked up a collection of cool hammer heads off eBay with hopes of making cool handles for them. I am now properly inspired.

[@andrewwilson8317]

Nice collection,love the look and feel of well used tools. Going to have to count mine but must be way over one hundred too. Just can't resist giving old tools a good home.

[@aidandunworth765]

Congrats on 700k you deserve every single sub keep up the work!

[@OutlawEdge]

freakin awesome collection brother!!! congrats on all the subs!!

[@52552124555663355895]

congrats and you are so fun to watch

[@JackmanWorks]

"When you forget your hammer" with all these hammers how could you possibly not have at least 1 on the jobsite! :)

[@bobbergman9467]

At 12:47- blacksmith punch, for making holes in hot metal. Drive through until you feel the anvil, turn part over, drive out chilled spot over pritchel hole on anvil. Keep on going ,turning stock over from side to side to enlarge hole.

[@bobbergman9467]

P.S. -Smith holds tool and metal, striker drives it with a sledge hammer.

[@brando6BL]

Hi. Just spotted this interesting collection. The "mason hammer" at 9:30 is actually a bricklayer's hammer, used for cutting and shaping common bricks. Face bricks are cut using a lump hammer (2&1/2lb) and a bolster chisel, to give a clean cut. The teeny little item at 10:48 is, I think, used by a piano tuner or restorer.

[@xanthopoulos1825]

At 12:40 I believe that is an armoring hammer used for making curved plates. Or at least that's what I've seen it used for in the past

[@tyrellthomas4990]

always great to see your collections. keep up the great videos, such an inspiration to me and I'm sure a lot of other makers. thanks Jimmy

[@danielk8926]

The serial killer hammers are slater hammers. You wack the back side of a slate shingle and it will give you a concave hole on front the copper roof nail will fit in.
