Ball Cross Pein Hammer

The Ball Pein hammer is used mainly by engineers. It is a general hammer, but has certain specific uses. One such use is cold riveting.
Cross Pein hammers are used where space is a little restricted, such as working in a corner. Another possible use, is when a nail is held in the hand, between fingers. If a cross or straight pein hammer is used accurately, the nail will be hit and not the fingers. A ball pein is far too large to allow this type of accuracy.
The handle of each of these hammers is hickory or ash, as these woods absorb shock, vibrations and knocks associated with hammering.
These hammers are available with metal handles with rubber grips.
