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.
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.
“Hey Frank, can we borrow your hammer? We need to see if the pope is dead.”
“Did you submit a maintenance ticket for it? I don’t see it on my task list.”
“Oh, no, but I figured if I just called you…”
“Gotta have a ticket for it; I get in trouble if I spend too much time on other things.”
I will now schedule a delivery of 40,000 of them. I don't care if you don't want that many - or if you wanted me to stop at 30,000. You're getting all of them.
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.
Aren't the impacts painful? I've used small hammers that were all steel and they weren't there for violence unless you like waking up the tendinitis demon.
Surprisingly no. Infact it's about on par with another 16lber I've got with the fancy fiberglass and stuff built in.
I think the sheer mass absorbs most of it. The rest is technique. Slightly loosening the left hand grip just before impact. Then again, not much is resisting this monster either.
Estwing 22oz smooth faced ripping/framing hammer. Bought one about 30 years ago when I was doing roofing and framing work. Still use it all the time. Comfortable and durable, great for construction and demolition work. Does a nice job digging out stubborn nails. If I could only have one hammer in my tool bag, that's what it would be.
Rock. I love bolting climbing routes and cleaning up new crags.
Edit: actually my favorite hammer ever, like seriously I fucking love this hammer, is what I call a machinist hammer. Because its what I used as a machinist, and machinists can make in a hour with a little bar stock, and just works the best for machinist work. Its a double peen( the double peen in the picture isn't accurate) made from all steel. The weight and balance is so perfect for me, it feels so natural to use, unlike any hammer I've ever used. I still love my rock hammer tho
Sorry to disappoint, and this will sound weird but I'm not comfortable posting something unique that I genuinely value. I'd rather post a dick pic. I wasn't trying to point out that the macro missed something or got something wrong(but the picture of the two peen is a dual face soft blow). I guess I can't define machinists hammers because they're whatever material and shape you want it to be. I didn't actually didn't make mine, I just found it in the bottom of a box of 100+ hammers of every variation you can imagine.

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.
I work in maintenance for a hospital trust, we’re a small team and everyone does everything. I use it for putting rawl plugs in, cause I can carry it in my pocket and it doesn’t need much force to put one of them in.
I choose sledge. I recently broke up an area of concrete that took 8m³ to dispose of it all. Sledgehammer was a very useful tool to have during this.
I tried with a pickaxe at first because I thought it was very thin and would break easily, while this was true for a tiny section the majority was much thicker. At least it came in handy for breaking up the compacted soil.
Double peen obviously.
Any peen is a great peen

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.

Phrasing
Where's the hammer they use to bonk the dead pope to make sure he's dead?
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.
It gives +100% damage to undead creatures and blesses all in a 3M radius
Wait, is that really it? Because that's fucking awesome.
“Hey Frank, can we borrow your hammer? We need to see if the pope is dead.”
“Did you submit a maintenance ticket for it? I don’t see it on my task list.”
“Oh, no, but I figured if I just called you…”
“Gotta have a ticket for it; I get in trouble if I spend too much time on other things.”
No matter who you are, no matter where you work, the facilities team is really in charge.
I choose warhammer
I will now schedule a delivery of 40,000 of them. I don't care if you don't want that many - or if you wanted me to stop at 30,000. You're getting all of them.
Sounds like a fantasy to me.
None of those. My custom 30lb'er
Wtf do you do with that thing
Looks like it breaks into bank vaults on the regular

That looks fit for a Nordic god. Call it Yendor.
It's just someone's name spelled backwards
Any one with
Peen
🤣
Lol
Every 27th customer gets a ball peen hammer free!
Oh my god. Would you look at all that stuff?
Dead blow hammer to do the deed and framing hammer to pin it on some random idiot.
A couple of these are wrong
power
More power to you
POWER
(power, Lord)
The double peen is wrong. That’s just a soft face mallet.
Don't you dare call me a soft face
Better soft in the face though

"double peen"
My favorite hammer and favorite porn genre. No wait! Ignore that last part.

Pics please!
Yeah post peen pic

Option 31: Water. Ever seen how much damage an incompressible fluid can do when it cavitates?

If I'd known it was hammer time I would've stopped.
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".
Cool list.
Never seen an electrician use an "electricians hammer", most use a framing.
Also missing the Form Setter Hammer.
I use a claw hammer.
Sometimes I use a stubby claw hammer, which is also missing.
How do you use it? I've never found an application.
I work in maintenance for a hospital trust, we’re a small team and everyone does everything. I use it for putting rawl plugs in, cause I can carry it in my pocket and it doesn’t need much force to put one of them in.
Thanks, learned a new word! We call them anchors around these parts. That is indeed a fine use! Wish I knew that when I was a cable guy.
Where's Jack
Where's MC ?
Why is the welding hand funny?
If I were to guess it serves two purposes:
Edit: I looked it up! Number 1 is correct! Also, they're used to remove slag
Maybe something to do with insulating your hand from the heat maybe? But then again maybe not because don't welders usually use gloves anyways?
A metal handle doesnt burn or melt.
No but it takes a long time for heat to conduct up a coil vs a straight line. That's why woodstove handles are often coiled.
MC
There's at least two things electricians, mechanics, engineers, and blacksmiths have in common:
Rubber. I dont want my target to go as easily as with others.
That's a mace, not a hammer..
Not with that attitude
Uh, what's the difference between the Rip and Claw hammers?
Also, that blacksmith hammer looks like a tiny double head axe
You can do more stuff with the straighter claw on the rip hammer, like whack it into something to use it as a wedge.
I want to be your sledgehammer.
no rounding hammer!
Brass because it looks like gold :p
(I like shiny things)
"Ball peen" makes me laugh every time.
I am a child.
My 3ft field geo hammer isn't listed. That one
I'm a drilling hammer kind of mechanic. Not even listed.
I must confess to having a sweet spot for a good toffee hammer.
I'm feeling fancy, so Brass.
Ball peen clearly.
Straight peen and rubber, bushing optional
I haven't owned, tack, framing, electrician, blacksmith, chasing, power, rock, and scaling. I have failed. I must do better.
I used to collect a lot for auto body stuff. Odd hammer head shapes make handy dollys for shaping metal in weird places.
The secret option is the real electrician's hammer, some lineman's pliers.
Missing a lead mallet
I choose sledge. I recently broke up an area of concrete that took 8m³ to dispose of it all. Sledgehammer was a very useful tool to have during this.
I tried with a pickaxe at first because I thought it was very thin and would break easily, while this was true for a tiny section the majority was much thicker. At least it came in handy for breaking up the compacted soil.
Ball Peen and Dead Blow are my EDC hammers but I also usually keep a good ol claw hammer near by just in case.
Lucern
Where E-Peen?
I choose hammer time
What is the engineer Hammer's purpose?
Percussive maintenance
Eeerectin' a sentry!
Rock
I'm always ready to rock
Ah, so this is what MC meant. I've enjoyed my time here.
Drywall seems closest to a viking weapon.
I need to put in a screw, so I'll choose the green one. It will perform as well as any other and plus it looks good.
Big hammer gives you all these flavors and vanity but I've spent my life around screws and they are all the same.
I thought I knew one that wasn't on here but second look reveals that in fact it is on the list.
