I don't think I've ever seen a copper hammer.
Thunderbolt chopper caps/stators are either
bronze or aluminum usually. I think some might have been cast iron but ive never seen
one. You could still damage a chopper stator
with a brass hammer. Use a plastic deadblow hammer. I've never had much trouble getting the motor out of a thunderbolt chopper housing.
There are such things. I will show you what i mean.

I didn't say there weren't copper hammers. I just said I haven't seen
one. Just use a plastic dead blow. One
Of those has to be cheaper than a
copper hammer.

Would a mallet work too?
