Jewellers' Ball Peen Hammer — 2 oz (57 g) Steel Head, Wooden Handle, Fine Metalwork
On thin-gauge silver and gold, most hammers are simply too much tool. At 2 oz (57g), this ball peen delivers taps, not blows — enough to planish a small surface flat with the polished face or lay fine texture with the round peen, without stretching or bruising the sheet. Where it sits among the bench's other hammers is covered in our guide to choosing a jeweller's hammer.
The steel faces are polished so they pass no marks to soft metal, and the smooth, contoured wooden handle balances the light head naturally in the hand. Keep the faces bright, dressing out any nick before it prints itself onto your work.
- Dual-head design with one flat face for planishing and one rounded peen for texturing.
- A 2oz (57g) head weight, ideal for controlled strikes on delicate components.
- Polished steel striking faces help to minimise marring on soft precious metals.
- Smooth, contoured wooden handle provides a comfortable and balanced grip.
