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.

  • Features a polished, flat striking face and a rounded ball peen for versatile shaping.
  • Head weight of 8oz (227g) provides substantial force for forming thicker metals.
  • Smooth, contoured hardwood handle offers a comfortable and secure grip during use.
  • Black-finished head body with polished steel faces for durability.
  • Securely mounted head for reliable performance in repetitive striking tasks.

Alexander ★★★★★

Eight ounces is the right weight for flattening heavier wire when I'm making rivets, way easier than my old 4 oz. The head has enough mass that a couple of controlled taps do the job instead of me hammering away. Only wish the handle were a touch longer, but for bench work it's fine.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The wooden handle is comfortable and the 8-ounce head gives just enough heft to shape thicker silver wire without extra effort. Been using it for riveting and it delivers clean, controlled strikes every time.

Emma ★★★★★

This hammer’s weight gives me real control when setting rivets, and the wooden handle feels solid and comfortable in my palm. I’m getting crisper, more confident strikes on thicker wire without having to swing hard.
