Sorry for the long post but I just can't say enough about this tool. This tool right here is an ultimate game changer for the automotive restoration industry. Let me start by saying there is nothing wrong with the tried and true way of metal finishing that has been around for a 100 plus years. If someone can make a tool that can expedite these methods this is the tool. The car I just finished was a 1 of 1 ever built. The entire car was hand formed so I needed to have all the body panels assembled on the car to remake the flowing shapes of the body. When I saw this miniture hand planishing hammer I was over the moon hoping and excited it ould work like @coachsmithing was s/aying. It truly did, and saved me a tremendous amount on of time so I could meet my deadline which was 2023 Pebble Beach Concours. I can't thank @coachsmithing enough that he made a tool like this. Dont't hesitate this is a tool you need in your toool box. This is not a promo ad, I just can't thank @coachsmithing enough for this awesome tool!!!

One of the best tools I have in my shop, and the best warranty/customer support that I've ever experienced. It's equally effective on steel. Especially for dialing in those big, low crown panels.

I just felt the need to say thank you once again - I've been looking for a very long time for a faster way (especially to work around gas welds on aluminum quickly). Very , very happy to have it !

I've been really enjoying the ox it works really well. It's made metal work a breeze. My 67 gto has quite a bit of collision damage and it's made light work of the steel. I really like that I don't have to press hard to get results and it doesn't jar the heck out of my arms like I assumed it would. You did really well with this design.

It's about time somebody made something that actually works !

I love the plannishing hammer I bought it about 2 years ago.

Hang up your old Milwaukee panel beater and get an Ox Planish hammer from the folks at Coachsmithing.com! This tool is awesome! Just started using it today and it turned a job that takes hours in to a job that takes minutes. Think of it as a power slapper for the detail finish work. Why beat your brains slappen, when you have pneumatics.. Aft section of a 1964 Aston Martin DB-4, easy peezzzyyyy...

I'm happy with the hammer, works great.
Nice job.

I have one and they are brilliant, yes they are expensive but worth the money.
Quality built and after having part of my hand amputated it is one of the more gentle on the body tools to use.
Love mine!

I have one. Needed it to smooth out a panel where a hand held C frame hammer would not work. The long shoe helped transitions to the surrounding profile. I is a great addition to my tool box.

D.C. 5/9/2020

It is a tool with which I managed to make special repairs, I am very satisfied with what it can do.

If anyone is woundering if it works as well as it appears to, the answer is absolutely yes. It takes a minute to get the hang of it because your hammer hand is on the tool, over the dolly, rather than at the end of a hammer handle. But once you dial it in, you'll wounder how you lived without it.

I recently got my ox hammer and I'm very impressed! Think of it like an pneumatic slap hammer. It came with extra parts and it even had a swivel air fitting already on it. I don't think I've ever bought an air tool that had a fitting on it! It's ready to go right out of the box! I'm still getting the hang of it but so far zero buyers remorse. I've only used it on steel so far but I'm hoping to shape up some aluminum soon! Thanks again @coachsmithing.

I finally got to put a few miles o my new handheld #oxplanishinghammer from Allen @coachsmithing and it's definitely worth the hype. That thin, low crown 22ga panel with a weld seam straight through it takes a lot of work to get it right, and this little hammer is a beautiful thing to have in the holster.

The OX Planisher has been used by Coachsmithing to build and finish panels on many projects including the Delahaye 135, AC Ace and an original 289 Cobra car (all pictured here).

The Cobra panels were sandblasted before we became involved in the project, leaving it with the original dents and damage as well as all the damage and warping etc. that sand blasting will produce on thin aluminum panels. The "OX" handles the job exceptionally well, ironing out problem areas quickly and with ease! Using our unique "Planishing System" we are repairing and planishing the entire body without "pick and filing" and obtaining superior results!

* Each hammer is assembled and tested " in house".

* Most of the parts are Manufactured by Coachsmithing in the USA !

* 30 day money back guarantee. One Year limited warranty. We stand by our product!

* Inquire about Custom OX Planisher packages containing hand dollies with leather and plastic covers.

* Minor changes in appearance of product possible.

* Product demonstrations for groups and businesses, project consultations and "OX Planishing System" work shops available.

The "OX" was developed by Coachsmithing with professional "panel beaters" in mind. If there is a "secret weapon" for sheet metal work and finishing, this is it! My favorite tool by far! This revolutionary tool saves hours everyday! When working on sheet metal projects, I regularly reach for the OX in preference to standard sheet metal hammers. I am confident you will too. Don't be the last guy to do things the "hard way". Use the Ox Planishing Hammer. - Allen Buresh Owner of Coachsmithing -

* Beneficial Industrial Applications: Auto restoration, collision, custom and fabrication shops. Aviation, motor cycle repair, manufacturing and sheet metal shops.

* Delivers precision blows without bounce back . . .

* Ergonomic. Operates in a comfortable horizontal position. Light weight. Fits in the palm of your hand.

* Designed to glide over the metal easily producing a high quality finish. Renders traditional "pick and file" metal finishing, (which thins out the metal leaving the panel weaker) obsolete.

* Use with existing stationary anvils and stakes or hand held auto body dollies.

* Superior planishing of welds, rough formed panels and damaged sheet metal.

* Good for heavy and very light planishing and forming processes. No more pick and file work!

* Easy to master; rapid muscle memory learning curve.

* No awkward and limiting hoop frames and structures used!

* Extremely portable; bring the OX Planishing Hammer to the work project, not the other way around!

* Versatile! Allows operator access to difficult areas and large pieces.

* A huge time saver! Greatly increases production and quality, saving hours daily "by the strength of the Ox" Planishing Hammer (Patent Pending)
During the past 40 plus years Allen Buresh, owner of Coachsmithing, has been commissioned to re-body and or refurbish classic Ferrari cars as well as Porsche, Delahaye, Cobra, Lotus and others. As usual, when a refurbishing/ restoration project begins, extensive sheet metal repairs are required. Fabrication and welding in of panels and patches, annealing and straightening of old and tired sheet metal, welding cracks and finally planishing and metal finishing are all part of this exhaustive process. In the past, the standard method of straightening and planishing were employed via hammer/slapper and dolly work, then "metal finishing" by means of pick and file work of the entire car which involved an enormous amount of time and labor to achieve the desired high quality finish. During this process, the best planishing results were obtained with the hand held slapper used in conjunction with an auto body dolly. This smoothed and readied the material the quickest and most satisfactorily. While being involved in such a task, the thought of a hand held power planisher came to mind. A unit that could "iron out" wrinkled and damaged sheet metal, without the need to use a pick and file would be wonderful and a "game changer"!

Previously developed "hand held" planishing hammers for such tasks weighed approximately 15 - 25# and consisted of an air hammer mounted on an alignment hoop that positioned a small anvil under the hammer head, this being fastened on the other end of the hoop and the metal was planished in-between. Allen had an entirely different idea in mind. He created rough drawings that envisioned a small, easy to position, ergonomic, light weight tool, that was independent of hoops.

Several years elapsed and Coachsmithing evolved into a company that did "one offs", rebodies and complete "ground-up" builds of various classic models. While working on a commissioned 250 California spyder SWB aluminum body, he purchased an older hoop style planishing hammer for about $1000. Not knowing what to expect and thinking this could be the "secret weapon" for metal finishing, the hammer was plenty powerful but it proved cumbersome, much too heavy, (using the smallest hoop the unit weighed at least 15 pounds), difficult to control and keep in a position that wouldn't crease and damage the sheet metal. After a few hours and attempts the mission was aborted and the "secret weapon" for metal finishing was posted on ebay and sold to a buyer from France. Soon afterward, we began developing our own planishing hammer based on the aforementioned drawings. After several more years and prototypes and extensive testing, the patent pending, OX Planishing Hammer is available! Created by professionals, for professionals and "DIY" in the sheet metal shaping industry.
