Chasing Hammer, German Style — 28 mm Bow Face, Ball Peen, Wood Handle, Metal Planishing

Chasing and repoussé run on rhythm, and this German-pattern hammer is shaped for it: the broad 28mm bow face, gently convex and highly polished, moves sheet metal smoothly stroke after stroke, while the ball peen end planishes, textures and sets rivets. One hammer covers most of a chasing session.

The forged steel head is fixed with a traditional wedge into a straight-grained hardwood handle, giving the balance this kind of work wants. Keep the faces polished — every mark on the hammer prints on the metal — and store it away from damp to protect head and handle alike.

• Features a 28mm highly polished, slightly convex bow face for smooth metal forming.
• Opposing ball peen is ideal for planishing, texturing, and riveting work.
• The forged steel head is securely fitted to the handle with a traditional wedge.
• A smooth, straight-grained hardwood handle provides balance and a comfortable grip.
• All our tools are UK-stocked for same-day dispatch to your workshop.
