Drop-forged from American high-carbon steel — the head holds shape under repeated impact instead of mushrooming the way cheap imports do. Fiberglass handle is reinforced through the head and absorbs vibration the way wood used to before fiberglass got better at it. 24-oz weight is the standard for general metalworking.
Mechanics, riveters, sheet-metal shops, automotive bodywork, jewelry-makers, and farriers all reach for ball-peins. Use the round end for peening rivets and shaping curved metal, the flat face for general striking. Pairs with anvil work, leather punches, and metal stamps.
Vaughan has been forging hammers in Hebron, Illinois since 1869.
