Ball Pein Hammer – Key FAQs

• What is a ball pein hammer used for?

  • Ball pein hammers are used for metalworking tasks such as setting rivets, peening, shaping metal, and striking tools like cold chisels and punches.

• Which size should I choose: 8oz, 16oz or 32oz?

  • 8oz suits lighter, precise work; 16oz is a versatile all-round choice; 32oz is best for heavier, more forceful shaping and tool striking.

• Why is a ball pein hammer better than a claw hammer for metalwork?

  • A ball pein is designed for striking tools and metal shaping, with a harder head and a ball end for peening—tasks a claw hammer isn’t built for.

• What are the benefits of the ash hardwood handle?

  • Ash is strong and shock-absorbing, and the varnished finish helps protect the handle from moisture and dirt for longer service life.

• Does the polished, lacquered head offer any advantages?

• Is the head weight marked on the hammer?

  • Yes, the head weight is stated for quick identification, which is especially helpful if you keep multiple sizes in your tool kit.
