Forming & Riveting — 8 oz / 227 g Ball Peen Hammer, Wooden Handle
The heavier of the bench ball peens: at 8 oz (227g) the head carries enough mass to move thicker-gauge sheet and wire efficiently, so shaping, riveting and texturing take fewer, more deliberate blows. Where a lighter hammer means extra strikes and extra risk of stray marks, this is the weight to reach for.
Both working ends are polished steel — a flat striking face for forming and a rounded peen for texture — set in a black-finished head on a smooth, contoured hardwood handle. The head is securely mounted for repetitive striking, and the polished faces keep every contact with the metal clean. UK-stocked and ready for same-day dispatch.
