    Cheapest one you can find. So, if someone gets ballzy and wants to start trouble, you won't be out much when you throw the evidence off a bridge.

    16 lb. Sledge. Comes in handy for steel loads and beating on the pointies to not rip the tarps. And whatever else.

    A couple of 90 degree bars with notches for pulling out nails.

    Claw hammer.

    All found at harbor freight.

    I keep a Vaughan 24oz framing hammer (made in USA) in the truck...prefer a straight hickory handle over the "ergonomic" bent handles so that it swings the same whether I'm hammering a nail or chipping at something with the claw. Hickory handle allows it to be used as a tire thumper, giving a better sound/feel than a synthetic or steel handle will provide.

    Simple solution: Don't miss the nail!

    Estwing or Vaughan both made in the USA. 20 ounce Straight claw, framing handle. Easy to pull nails from dunnage and can use the claw in the ratchet binder to hold while tightening.

    I bought a 4lb sledge at harbor freight. It was as eight Bucks I couldn't pass it up.
