This 8 oz ball peen hammer shapes and forms thicker metal sheet and wire with controlled strikes at the jeweller's bench.
What it does
The balanced 8 oz head delivers significant impact, efficiently moving metal for doming, riveting, and texturing. Its hardened steel striking faces, one flat and one rounded ball peen, are polished to prevent marring your workpiece. The smooth, shaped hardwood handle is designed for a comfortable, secure grip, minimising user fatigue during extended work sessions. This hammer is built for consistent performance on demanding metal forming tasks.
How to use it
- Secure your metal workpiece firmly.
- Strike with controlled swings for shaping and riveting.
- Clean and store after use for longevity.
Who it's for
An essential tool for UK jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths tackling robust forming. It's ideal for intermediate to professional users needing a reliable hammer for heavier gauge non-ferrous metals, replacing lighter hammers for efficiency on tasks like riveting and significant doming.

Common questions at the bench
Is this safe to use on a vintage watch?
Our case holders, spring-bar tools, and movement holders are designed for vintage and modern watch handling. Soft-jaw inserts protect plated bezels. For one-piece sapphire crystals and brittle dials, slow down and check the description for material limits.
What screwdriver size fits my watch?
Most modern watch movements use 1.0–1.6 mm screwdriver tips. Vintage Swiss often runs 0.8–1.2 mm. Our screwdriver sets cover 0.5–3.0 mm in 0.1 mm increments — you will use 4–6 sizes regularly. Hollow-ground tips grip the screw slot without slipping.
Why do I need a demagnetiser?
Modern phones, magnetic clasps, and stray fields from speakers magnetise watch movements, causing time-keeping drift. A 30-second pass through a demagnetiser fixes most cases. A £20 desk demagnetiser pays for itself within the first time you would otherwise pay a watchmaker to diagnose it.
Can I work on a Rolex or other high-end piece?
These tools are bench-grade and suitable for hobbyist and professional watch repair. For warranty-affecting work on serial-tracked luxury watches, always check whether intervention voids your warranty before opening. We cannot verify what is appropriate for every brand.
