Ball mean hammer for metal not wood

This is a ball peen hammer. This hammer wasn't made for framing houses or driving nails. It was made strictly for shaping metal. The smooth side here is just for striking metal all day long. It offers a smooth face. The steel in the head of a ball peen is actually a lot harder than the steel in the head of a framing hammer. It's made for just years of abuse against metal and not wood and nails. The round part of the ball peen here IS FOR SHAPING. SHOULD EVERY PERSON HAVE THIS TOOL? SHOULD EVERY homeowner have this tool? No, I don't think so. I don't think every homeowner needs a ball peen hammer. Definitely don't grab it if you're doing construction and framing work. Keep it solely for Keep it solely for metalworking. If you want to mess around in the garage with some metal stuff, if you want to shape and deform some metal, maybe smooth out some rivets or drive a punches or chisels, then for sure use the ball peen hammer. If you're going to build a house, carpentry, framing, get yourself a framing or a finishing hammer for that kind of work. Anyways, that's it for the ball peen. I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
