Thought it would be an interesting poll.

I always thought the correct spelling was hoch....not hawk. Anyone? (like it really matters...it is what I use)

I always thought it was "hod", but that's the thing the mexicans use to carry brick instead of using a brick hack/tongs.

I stand corrected.....interesting what you find if you only look....but trivia isn't my thing anyway. The origins may be where I got that silly idea...hach....so anyway.

We use pans for what little hand work there is. Running boxes is so much faster there isn't much need for pans or hawks. I've even been running bead with a box.

Wow....I can't believe how many of you fellas are panning it. The hawk is the way to go if you value your time. When I sling mud the hawk is catching it like Chef Boy RD trying to keep up with Pizza Hut.

I've been using a pan for so long that I doubt I could get used to a hawk. I might be surprised, though.
