Creative Radio On-Air Name Ideas Inspired by Tools (aka Ania Hammar)

This post is off-topic for the site and not political, so everything should be okay, right?

I was off at Harbor Freight today to pick up a tool bag for the camper. Wait, is that a tie-in for the camper site? Maybe!  So, I was driving my Boulder Gray *Nissan 2024 Frontier Pro-X, windows down, country music on SXM’s The Highway, and the host (we were called jocks back in the day) was Ania Hammar. I thought, being a former jock who played both rock and country, what a tremendous on-air name.  Okay, it’s spelled Hammar not Hammer, but it sounds right.

After Leaving Harbor Freight Tools, I wondered what other great on-air names might be hidden on those shelves. So, I opened the website to see how it went. I figured I would start with hand tools since the other Hammar is a powerhouse on-the-air. And the hammer is a hand tool.

So, I started with the hammers. Let’s use my first name.

  • Jerry Sledgehammer
  • Jerry Rubber Mallet
  • Jerry Ball-Peen Hammer
  • Jerry Pry-Bar

I don’t think this experiment works; let’s move to power tools.

  • Jerry Drill/Driver
  • Jerry Hammer drill

This experience isn’t working. Let’s check the other tool sections. I think I’m on something here. Maybe I should try some of the brand names of tools.

  • Jerry Vulcan
  • Jerry Titanium
  • Jerry Earthquake XT
  • Jerry Spectrum
  • Jerry Predator (I like this)
  • Jerry Thunderbolt
  • Jerry Diamondback

I feel like we’re done here. This has proven that only Ania Hammar has the best version of tool names. I know on the radio those traffic guys are taken with Major Delay, probably the best.  Thank goodness. I’m not on the air anymore and don’t have to worry about this. My on-air name was Jerry Katz! Pretty sexy, huh? (See something you like, please comment!)

*I’m sorry. I love this truck and want to promote it! No, I’m not getting paid to say that!
