12 oz Ball Peen Hammer
The Westward 6DWN2 is a hand striking tool built with a medium carbon steel head and an 11 in steel handle. Weighing 12 oz, it delivers controlled impact for metalwork, riveting and general fabrication tasks. The 1 in diameter striking face provides a focused contact area for precise blows. This new item suits technicians and hobbyists who need a durable, single-piece steel construction.
Suited for metal shaping and peening.
The hammer suits users forming sheet metal, setting rivets or peening welds where a 12 oz head gives adequate force without excessive fatigue. The all-steel handle transmits vibration directly, so workers who prefer shock-absorbing grips or non-marring faces should look at something else. It is also not intended for driving large framing nails or breaking concrete where a heavier sledge would be required.
Check handle grip preference and chemical warning
Before ordering, confirm that a bare 11 in steel handle matches your comfort and safety requirements, as no rubber or ergonomic sleeve is included. The product carries a California Proposition 65 notice for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, so verify local compliance needs. Ensure the 1 in face diameter suits the workpiece dimensions you typically encounter.
