The Groz Hickory Wood Handle Ball Pein Hammer is a MUST-HAVE tool for metal workers. The rugged steel heads forged from special steel induction-hardened 50-58 HRC, feature a round end for pounding metals and a bevel on the other end for hammering applications. The genuine hickory wood handles manufactured from the strongest hickory imported from USA provide high energy transfer and vibration absorption and offer a balanced and controlled swing, reducing user fatigue. A reinforcing collar at the base of the head ensures protection against overstrike damage. These hickory wood hammers conform to BS 876 and ANSI standards and are an ideal tool for bending and shaping metal, driving punches and chisels, concrete and stone work, hand forging, setting rivets, and texturing face of metal.
