    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.
