Fixman Ball Pein Hammer 16oz
At a Glance: 16oz ball pein hammer for metalworking, riveting, shaping and general workshop striking tasks
The Fixman FIX C0302 ball pein hammer is a practical 16oz striking tool for workshop, engineering, maintenance, repair and DIY applications. The flat striking face is useful for general hammering, striking punches, chisels and pins, while the rounded pein end is ideal for shaping metal, peening, riveting and working small metal components. It is a handy all-round hammer for users who need more controlled striking power than a claw hammer and better suitability for metalworking tasks.
The ball pein hammer is a workshop favourite because it combines a flat striking face with a rounded pein end. This makes it useful for striking, shaping, riveting and forming metal where a standard carpentry hammer is not the right tool for the job.

Pro Tips

- For riveting or peening, start with lighter taps to shape the material gradually and avoid overworking one spot.
- Keep the hammer face clean and free from oil or debris to improve contact and reduce slipping.
- When striking punches or chisels, keep your eyes on the striking face and hold the tool firmly to avoid glancing blows.
