Shown here is Del Carpenter with what he referrers to as his "favorite tool." He's gotten a lot of mileage out of the old maul and he does like hammers as apposed to wrenches. He once used a big hammer to improve the compression on my 1946 Buick by smacking the lifters while the engine was running. Apparently the "shock" de-carboned the valves and seats. As as result of his "big-hammer-fixes-all" approach, the compression was doubled and I avoided a costly overhaul.
