Ball-Peen Hammers

Ball peen hammers, also called the machinist's hammers, are specialized tools designed for metalworking. Typically, their head features a flat end on one side and a rounded one on the opposite side. Ball peen hammers are used to peen, bend, and shape metal, or to rivet and engage punches or chisels. While pneumatic rivet guns have superseded ball-been hammers in large industrial environments, they are still used to make some hand-crafted products. Typically, the head is made of harder steel than in standard claw hammers to reduce the occurrence of chipping.

Today, there is a large availability of such tools featuring several design nuances to meet some requirements. For example, dead blow ball peen hammers ensure a typical effortless strike and ability to absorb the rebound. Typically, the weight ranges from a few ounces up to 50 oz. The overall length varies from about 10 to 20 inches while the handle can be made of various materials including fiberglass, wood, or steel.
