I just put wire wheels on my TR3 and have been cautioned about using 
the copper hammer.  seems that the ones today are a lot harder than of 
years past.

I have been told that  "dead shot" hammer works best--a pvc hammer filed
with lead shot.  In addition that Snap On tools makes ones that sales for 
about $60 bucks.

I have seen soemthing close in Orchard Supply here in the bay area but not 
quite the mass for about $15.00.

Does anyone know another source besides Snap On or if a smaller (less
mass) is sufficient to keep the spinners tight.
