=====Description=====
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball-peen_hammer '''Ball Pein Hammers''' ''(aka Peen)''] are the general purpose engineer's hammers ''(sometimes also known as a ‘Machinist's Hammer’)''.

=====Features and Uses=====
They are commonly used to drive '''[[Chisels|Cold Chisels]]''' or '''[[:Category:Punches|Punches]]''', to bend and shape metal and to set rivets - especially '''[[Rivets|Snap Head Rivets]]'''. '''Ball Pein Hammers''' are available in a wide range of head weights from 55gm (2oz) to 1.4kg (48oz). The hammer shaft is positioned nearest to the '''Pein''' such that the '''Face''', which is used most,  naturally hangs downward without any special effort to keep it so.
