Link did not work, but I found them, I had not checked HFT yet, I do not have a really close local store, but I order from them online a bit, I may go with that kit, not bad for the money, thanks for letting me know about them.

If I have the money I may also invest in a heavy, but not too heavy Ball Pein Hammer, as I can see trying to use the beast of a sledge hammer I had in mind may not be the best method, I wish I had a compressor and some air tools, an air hammer would be perfect.

What size ball pein would you guys suggest, a 1lb, or 2lb?
I am thinking 2lb...

I already have some decent general purpose hammers, I'll try them first before buying any, thanks again.
