Special Hammer

Rivet pins, true jewelry shanks, planish curved surfaces, and drive metal stamps with balanced bench control. The Traditional Ball Peen Goldsmith Hammer pairs a dual-faced blackened carbon iron head with an ergonomic natural hardwood handle. Designed as an essential workstation tool for jewelers, metal crafters, and repair technicians, it features two complementary striking profiles: a broad flat round face for flattening sheet, leveling wire, and seating rivets, paired with a spherical ball peen for peening rivets, localized metal stretching, and decorative hammered dimpling. Available in three calibrated diameters—Type A (26 mm Small), Type B (28 mm Medium), and Type C (32 mm Large)—this classic hammer delivers dependable striking mass across fine goldsmithing and heavy bench metalsmithing tasks.

Why Choose the Dual-Face Ball Peen Bench Hammer

• Dual-Action Striking Geometries (Flat Round & Spherical Peen):

  • Polished Flat Round Face: Delivers solid, planar contact for flattening wire, truing out-of-round ring bands over mandrels, driving setting punches, and closing joints cleanly.

  • Smooth Ball Peen (Spherical Dome): Concentrates striking force for spreading rivet heads, rounding convex cavities, expanding metal directionally, and applying organic light-catching dimple textures.

• High-Carbon Cast Iron Construction: Hardened blackened iron head resists chipping, surface pitting, and mushrooming under continuous daily shop use.

• Shock-Absorbing Natural Hardwood Handle: Straight-grained wood handle absorbs high-impact vibration and recoil, minimizing wrist fatigue during extended forging or texturing sessions.

• Secure Tenon Wedge Assembly: Traditional wooden core wedging keeps the iron head firmly seated to prevent loosening or wobble during repetitive strikes.

• 3 Calibrated Bench Sizes:

  • Type A – Small (Ø26 mm): Agile control for delicate ring sizing, prong work, and fine wire riveting.

  • Type B – Medium (Ø28 mm): Standard versatile bench size for ring fabrication, bracelet forming, and general chasing support.

  • Type C – Large (Ø32 mm): Maximum face coverage and mass for heavy sheet flattening, large rivets, and deep dimple texturing.
