Introduction and Primary Use (Striking Metal)

What happens here

The video introduces the ball peen hammer and demonstrates its primary function: striking metal. The flat face of the hammer is shown repeatedly striking a piece of metal secured in a bench vise. The creator explains that this hammer is not designed for framing houses or driving nails but is strictly for shaping metal, noting that the steel in the head of a ball peen hammer is significantly harder than that of a framing hammer.

Goal: Identify the ball peen hammer and its primary application in striking metal.
