[Healeys] Knock off hammer - aftermarket

[Darin Graber]

I'm surprised people are still hitting things with hammers that close to wings and spokes. I've always used the Moss wrench and fabbed an extension for stubborn KO's and it has always worked. The wrench stows invisible behind the spare. What am I missing other than the vintage "feel" and process?
