Having the right specialty hammers in your toolbox can help to ensure that you're ready to tackle a wide range of projects. Ball peen hammers are one hand tool that can be an essential for certain types of tasks, and Ace Hardware stocks a wide range of ball pein hammer tools to meet your needs.
What Are Ball Peen Hammers Used for?
Also called ball pein hammers, these tools are commonly used for metalworking. The ball peen hammer has two striking surfaces: a rounded head called a peening face and a flat face. The peening face gets its name from peening, the process of hardening a surface by producing an impact against it. This side of the ball peen hammer is also suitable for rounding off the edges of rivets and other hardware. With the flat face of a ball pein hammer, you can strike chisels and punches when performing metalwork.
Ball Pein Hammers vs Claw Hammers
Like all hammers, ball peen hammers are striking tools, but their designs are unique. Like claw hammers, ball peen hammers feature dual-sided heads. However, both faces of the ball pein hammer are for striking, while one side of a claw hammer is for pulling nails.
Looking further afield, compared to sledge hammers, ball pein hammers are much smaller in size, making them ideal for fine detail work. And although you can use them for striking other tools while metalworking, ball peen hammers usually have more compact faces than deadblow hammers and mallets. As a result, they work best with smaller chisels and punches.
Essential Features of Ball Peen Hammers
Now that you know what the ball peen hammer is used for, you're ready to start comparing tools to find the one that's right for your project. To do so, consider:
- Handle length: If you're looking to maximize power, a longer handle may be the ideal solution. On the other hand, a shorter handle can enhance your level of control for fine-detail work.
- Head size: The larger the head of a ball pein hammer, the more of a surface it will impact with each strike. This speeds up the peening process. You should also compare the head sizes to the sizes of any chisels and punches that you plan to use with your new ball peen hammer.
- Head weight: Like handle length, heavier heads boost power, while lighter ones increase control.
