      That double peen is soft face, harder rubber on the left, greenish softer rubber on the right. I have one just like it. I think it came with a mesh organizer to hammer the corner clips all the way in when assembling.

        Double peen but soft face? Should both peens be hard? Or what makes it a true double peen? Sorry I’m just an IT nerd I have no idea about hammering.

          Well, peening is hammering a bolt on the threaded side to mushroom it out to make it like a rivet, not like that’s what people usually use them for.

          I had been told that, but I guess it’s not really accurate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peening

          And normally they are metal, but that exact type of hammer is a weird soft rubber one.

            Thanks! I learned a lot about peens and peening today. Guess not every hole you’re trying to hammer is the same and it makes sense that there are different types of peens.

      I’ve always assumed it was some sort of ornate, ceremonial hammer made of pure gold that they keep in a special chamber, but now that you mentioned it, I really hope it’s just a claw hammer they borrow from the maintenance guy.

        What evere requires…extra ‘persuasion’. I legit use it for projects around the house. Last use was few weeks ago. Aided in breaking up my porch cement slab. Sometimes it’s used for erasing hard drives at work. Sometimes as an axe replacement for old lumber etc.

        It’s a 20lb head. The original wooden handle broke one day. Had a welder friend fix the handle XD. So it’s another 10lbs of ~1.5inch construction grade rebar. It will out last me. Hoping to make it an heirloom.

    Being in auto body repair, I love this chart. Seeing how other trades use hammers is just fascinating, since it’s kind of like a peek into their world.

    I’d never have known that a drywall hammer had such a nice blade at the end of it, or that an electrician’s hammer would look so unique.

    That said, I’d like to have seen a pick hammer. It comes in short and long varieties, which we use to take out high spots from beneath a car panel while also gradually shrinking the metal in that area, before switching sides and tapping it back down.

    Came here looking for a masonry hammer as I need to buy one and don’t know what it is. I still don’t, unless it’s “brick”.
