Standard ball-peen hammers strike objects and shape material in everyday applications where a non-sparking hammer isn't needed. Their peened face is rounded to curve the edges of fasteners and to shape metal without creasing it.

Non-sparking ball-peen hammers contain no ferrous metals, so they resist creating sparks. This reduces the risk of ignition when hammering in environments where combustible dust or flammable liquids, gas, or vapors are present. Their peened face is rounded to curve the edges of fasteners and to shape metal without creasing it.

Standard cross-peen hammers strike objects and shape material in everyday applications where a non-sparking hammer isn't needed. Their peened face is wedge shaped to strike more accurately than a ball peen and to protect fingers from the blow. They are commonly used to set pins or tacks in corners and tight spaces.

Sets include multiple ball-peen hammers in different head weights and face diameters to match the striking force and coverage area to the task. Heavier heads hit harder while lighter heads provide greater control. The peened face on each hammer is rounded to curve the edges of fasteners and to shape metal without creasing it.
