This is the Vaughan 154-30, a 12-ounce commercial ball pein hammer on a 12-inch hickory handle. The lighter head gives finer control for detailed metalwork while keeping the same forged-steel face and pein.
It suits jewelry and light fabrication, riveting, and bench tasks where a full 16-ounce head is more than the job needs. The hickory handle keeps the swing balanced and absorbs shock.
Vaughan has forged striking tools in Hebron, Illinois since 1869, and its commercial ball pein hammers are a long-time bench standard.
