I'm looking for a bunch of tools for both autobody repair/restoration as well as mechanical. I've been trying to chase down a bullseye pick but don't know where to look and don't know what brands exists since the ones I've seen have no company name stamped on them.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

There are many suppliers for this item. I think only one company makes them though. I my opinion, there are several brands of new body tools. There are many brands of used body tools that are great if you can find them. Best brands for hammers and dollys are Snap On, Sikes-Pickavant, Martin, Majestic. Snap On is as usual big $$$. Martin I think is the best combination of price and quality. They have both fiberglass handles and wood handles. It depends on who you talk to as to which is better. I like the wood myself.

Suppliers:

Covell Creative Metalworking 831-768-0705
James Chapman Tools 800-731-8496
Eastwood 800-345-1178
Sunchaser Tools 626-795-1588
US Tools (Sikes-Picavant)800-521-4800
Metalcraft tools (Majestic) 904-259-4427
TM Technologies (530) 292-3506

I have a sickness with tools that is similar to that of a woman who must have new shoes all the time.

I have dealt with all of the above vendors and am generally satisfied with the quality of products and service. Some of these guys sell videos on how to do first class work, body tools as well as other metalshaping tools.
