I bought some snap-in body hammers off eBay without handles and went to local hardware and put handles on them. Then a co-worker who's dad owned a body shop told me I could flag down a tool truck and swap them. But I believe one which is my favorite is no longer made. I also have two Proto body hammers that I bought in the '60's that are like new.
But one of my favorites is a 3/8 drive Craftsman Flex handle and 1/2" deep socket that I probably stole from my dad that was made in the early 40's. It has the cool Craftsman underline logo with Circle-H. Even though it has lots of patina on it, it's still a dependable wrench. Looks very similar to The upper one in this pic.. For Craftsman fans, the Alloy-artifacts.org website is pretty fascinating.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
