The creator uses the rounded end to shape a piece of metal, showing how it can deform the material. This part of the hammer is specialized for tasks requiring the stretching or rounding of metal, such as peening rivets or forming sheet metal.

What they say

Hide

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
