ITN PH251 BP - The Classic Ball Peen Chasing Hammer has an Old-World European design that is still used today by Jewelers, Watchmakers and other Craftspeople.
The Ball Peen Chasing Hammer has one large, Flat Round Face for striking chasing tools or polishing metal and has a Ball Peen end (round) for peining, texturing and riveting. Polished tool steel head mounted in a well balanced hardwood handle w/a comfortable, ergonomic postal grip is smooth to the touch. The hammer head is forged-tempered and high polished steel w/ 7/8" diameter Half Dome face.
The Ball Peen Chasing Hammer is commonly used by Jewelers, is perfect for light weight gold, gold filled, silver, copper and brass metal sheet or hardening or soft wire, texturing metal, jewelry making and metalsmithing etc. Flat round face head is used to planishing, flatten, dent, mark, shape, bend metal and form objects or to strike chasing tools. The Ball Peen round end is used for flare rivets or forming decorative patterns and designs. Other uses are to work out dings, dents and imperfections in metal (Not for auto body repair, but could be used for auto restoration metal trim straightening). The hammer is perfectly used with a steel bench block / anvil or staking tools. When used properly - the ergonomic design and weight of the head, rather than the muscles in your arm and hand, drives the downward motion of this tool. ed/hb
