VINTAJ 8 OZ. BALL PIEN HAMMER 11 INCH

Take your metalworking to the next level with The Beadsmith Ball Pein Hammers. These general-purpose hammers work for a variety of tasks, including household repairs, jewelry making and as a crafter’s tool for multi-media artists. Continual impact of a surface will harden the metal, and this is known as peening. The flat face of the hammer is useful for striking punches and chisels, which is essential to wood and clay workers. The peening face is handy for rounding off edges of metal pins and fasteners, such as rivets. This is great for apparel makers and leather smiths. It is distinguished from a cross-peen hammer, diagonal-peen hammer, point-peen hammer, or chisel-peen hammer by having a hemispherical peen. The two-sided steel heads give you options for working on different projects. Use the ball pein side of the hammer for spreading and shaping metal, to create jewelry or decorative home décor. The flat side is used for striking tools, such as stamp to create personalized jewelry or chisels to carve sculptures out of wood, stone, or metal. The lightweight wood handle is easy to grip and works in partnership with the weighted head, which is easy to control. Use in conjunction with embossing, texturing, and chasing tools in The Beadsmith hammer line to add unique visual flair, designs, and patterns. To protect your work bench and other surface, consider working on a bench block, which is designed to absorb the shock of using steel tools. Metalsmiths will add these dual sided hammers to their workbench or tool box to help make unique pieces other art. Truly a wonderful tool for those wanting to try their hand at metalworking.
