Top hammer is one I use for straightening frames. 11lb.
Middle one is for shaping sheet. 3lb.
Bottom one is a 14oz deep reach double face body hammer, heavy enough for shrinking 16ga steel, hot.

Working dents out of flat panels can be tricky, but enough advise already given for that, above.
(A hammer that is too heavy will stretch easily.)
