Newly updated design! Dagger Tools Forged steel heavy weight finishing slapper/flipper for metal panels, metal shaping, ,metalworking, and auto body surface repair and restoration, is similar to hard wood slappers with the major difference being the steel slapper is for fine surface finishing and stretching. The slapping motion of the slapper allows distribution of the forces over a larger area and allow better control of stretch. Usually used with a handle dolly , hand dolly or even a jumbo forming head, any of these dollies can be covered with a leather or rubber cover to minimize surface stretching. A raking motion of the slapper face over the panel surface will allow you to achieve uniformity and smoothness of the surface or tap blade against forming tool and lower high spot and raise low spots.Steel slappers can be used to lightly stretch areas adjoining welded seams to stretch or relax the metal due to heat shrinkage from weld. Steel slappers can also be alter in length and width to allow access or improved control. Forged steel, foam grip, mild curve blade, 14" overall length, 6" blade length, 1 5/8" face width, 2" handle offset for improved panel access. Use on mild steel and aluminum. 2.2 lbs Made in USA
