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.

Aurora H. ★★★★★

The ball peen end is great for texturing while the flat face handles shaping—it's already become my go-to for forming copper sheet. I appreciate that the 8 oz head has enough weight to move metal without being exhausting during longer sessions.

Eva S. ★★★★★

The wooden handle is perfectly balanced for my jewellery work, and the 8 oz head delivers just the right force for shaping thicker silver sheet. I've already used it on several hobby projects, and it feels much more precise than my old generic hammer.

George ★★★★★

I was surprised how well this hammer transfers energy for controlled shaping—the 8 oz head is just right for heavier gauge silver. The wooden handle has a nice, solid feel that reduces hand fatigue during longer sessions.
