Ball Pein & Cross Peen Hammers
- Ball Peen or Ball Pein Hammers are used with cold chisels for riveting, center punching and forming unhardened metal work.
- Striking face diameter should be about 3/8 inch larger than the diameter of the head of the object being struck such as a chisel or punch.
- Designed with a regular striking face on one end and a rounded or half ball on the other end instead of a claw. The rounded ball end is used for riveting, straightening and forming unhardened metals.
- Sizes range from 4 ounce to 48 ounce with 12 and 16 ounce the most popular.
- Variations include a cross-peen hammer (with horizontal wedge-shaped face) and a straight-peen hammer (with vertical wedge-shaped face).
