Description
Panel Separating Knife Even after you've drilled out spot welds, separating panels can be tough. With Eastwood's new "Smacker-Whacker" simply insert the heavy-duty Sheffield steel blade between the panels and lightly hammer the blade back to gently wedge the panels apart (or smack it there, and give it a whack!) 8 3/8" overall length.
What's Included
Knife measures 8 3/8" overall with 4 1/2" working blade length. Blade is 1/4" thick and tapers to knife edge.
application_ax
This knife is used with a hammer to wedge apart seams. The knife works most effectively when the spot welds are first drilled out using either our Spot Weld Cutter (19068) or Pro Spot Weld Cutter (19017). The broad 1/4" thick back is designed to handle gentle hammer impact.

Takes a beating an comes back for more.
Got this too a few months ago help me separate some sheet metal from my floor. I was truly surprised how it broke through spot welds and folded over metal. Banged and pounded on this tool repeatedly and still looks new. Only con is the head is about 1/4" by 1 1/2" When you miss it will hurt tomorrow.

works as advertised
This tool separates body panels with no problem. Edge stays sharp, and is capable of cutting sheet metal if needed.

Time saver for breaking spot welds
Works well but gets dull pretty quick and only works going one direction. Sharpens up easily on the bench grinder. I would buy again.

Handy tool, BUT
This tool performs just as the description said it would, Great for splitting and finding spot weld. HOWEVER, it can really sting the hand when struck. Make sure you wear some good padded gloves. Great tool!!

Great product when you have a lot of welds
I have two project vehicles, both needing a fair amount of work (replace floor, firewall, cowl, and more) between the two of them and the Wacker-Smacker has been a HUGE help.
I have drilled out several hundred welds already, and there always seem to be parts of the welds that still get missed. With this panel separating knife, I smack through the remaining weld at angles that I couldn't get with a cold chisel or thin flathead screwdriver.
Hammering on the side of the blade to make a lateral cut can make your hands ring, so a heavier padded glove can really help. But it is great to be able to do that to help prevent tearing out the metal, or having to drill a second hole to get the remaining part of the weld.
This definitely can make a tough job a little easier.
