Ball Peen

I am in the market for a ball peen hammer( I dont have one) I need one that is quality, preferable made in the usa and wont break the bank, I just need one that will cover most of my beating, What are you guys using?

Good question.  I don’t even own one.

Hate to say it but harbor freight has them for like $3.00. That’s not helping the USA cause though 🙁 .

The Proto Anti-Vibe ball peins I reviewed are truely awesome. I recommend getting at least 2 of them (one smaller, one larger).

 

I have them in 8, 12, 16, 24, 40, and 48 oz. 

 

Go back and read my review on them. They are truely awesome!

 

If you are going to get 2 I’d get a 12 and 24. 

 

12 is you’re most used size in general work but sometimes you need a 24 to knock the snot out of something. 

 

They are hard to find because the are brand new and most retailers are selling off the old before the order the new, but Trident Tools has them here:

 

12 oz. : http://www.trident-supply.com/12oz_Ball_Pein_Hammer_p/J1312AVP.htm

 

24 oz.: http://www.trident-supply.com/24oz_Ball_Pein_Hammer_p/J1324AVP.htm

 

If you want to cover all bases, they also have a 4 piece set that has 8, 12, 16, and 24 oz. for $107. That will cover all bases for the rest of your life.

Trust me man, these hammers kick ass!

 

If you go to order them PM me. I have codes.

These are some of the VERY few Proto items made in Taiwan, but don’t let that sway you in this case. Proto makes 99% of their stuff in the USA. I’ll let them slide on the hammers.

I suppose this shows how much everyone pays attention to my reviews 😆

I have craftsman ball peen’s made in the USA I believe bought them probably 7 years ago now or longer

The snap on ball pein are also “dead blow”, I’ve compared them to regular ball pein hammer, they just plain old hit harder, I recommend them

I agree they are the best
