Ball Peen Hammers
Use the domed end of the head for forming soft metal, rounding off edges, and closing rivets. The flat striking face is for driving nails, pins, punches, and chisels. For replacement handles, see Hickory Hammer Handles and Fiberglass Hammer Handles.
Hickory and beech handles resist vibration. Steel handles are stronger than wooden handles but have less vibration resistance. Fiberglass handles combine the strength of steel with the vibration resistance of wood.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.
Hammers with a tether ring are a good choice for working at height. Hook the ring onto a carabiner or lanyard to prevent the hammer from falling to the ground if dropped.
