GreatNeck BP12 Ball Peen Hammer, 12 Oz. Drop Forged Steel Metalworking Tool With Precision-Balanced Authentic Hickory Wood Ball Peen Hammer Handle, For Riveting, Shaping, And Bending Metal

Well built and I really like the handle. Fits my hand well and looks nice. The handle seems to be made from good wood. Nice grain and good finish. It is just a hammer, but I really like it,

Perfect for small jobs in my shop. Good value for the money, and speedy shipping as well.

I bought this bc I was looking for a cheap ball peen to drill out and braze a carbide ball onto the tip. Expecting cheap steel, I bought this hammer. This is like super hardened tool steel… I tried to anneal this with my torch but I couldn’t locally do so without burning the wood handle.

Well made! Good weight distribution.

Nice Hammer good finish and weight .

Give a two, for a couple of reasons.The handle on the bottom back side of labeling side, looks like someone used it to fend off a angry beaver with the amount of chunck voids in the wood. The handle at top, larger OD of something that belongs on a 16oz ball pein hammer and where a 8oz hammer should have a 10" handle, this has a 12" handle instead (they are using same handle for both hammers, and no QC on wood before head is installed).As for metal on the hammer, give it a solid 3 since shape is ground close to correct, but lack the finial unify tumbler polishing instead.Note, just got is so will see how well metal head holds up, hence if too soft and just dents all to hell, or if to brittle and cracks apart instead.If you need a trash ball peen hammer, fits the bill, but if your looking for a lot better out the box that should last a life time with wood handle, then Vaughan instead.

Do you like hitting things with hammers? Small hammers? Round hammers?If you answered yes to those questions, you need this! It is a small round hammer you can hit things with. You will love it.

Works well for what i need! Good quality!
