I got the American hammer a few months ago after reading the thread on it.
Finally got to use it on my last visit to Texas. Tried a 2 lb stone maul with a 2x4, which did nothing. 2 easy whacks with the 6 lbs of lead made a big difference. Also when you tighten it you can feel when it is home. I can see
where that inertia of that lead will come in handy for more than wheels.
The safety wiring worked more easily then I anticipated. The pliers I got from Harbor Freight (6" and 9" on sale now for about $10 btw). They worked fine and should be fine for the limited use on my Cobra. I got the .041 wire but need to get the .034 for the caliper bolts (small holes!) I have some friends who wrench on planes that I can get a few feet of that wire over a shared beer.
Life is good!
Good thread
