Machinist Hammer

A machinist hammer, also known as a ball-peen hammer, is a specialized hand tool used in metalworking and machining applications. It typically consists of a handle and a head with two faces—a flat face on one side and a rounded, ball-shaped peen on the other. The flat face is used for striking and shaping metal surfaces, while the peen is often employed for tasks like riveting, rounding out metal edges, or forming concave shapes. Machinist hammers are designed to deliver controlled and precise blows in metal fabrication and are commonly used by machinists, metalworkers, and mechanics for various tasks in the workshop.
