Taparia Ball Pein Hammer WH 200 is a 200 g engineer’s hammer with a flat face at one end and a rounded ball pein at the other, supplied with its handle fitted.

The ball pein end is what distinguishes it from a carpentry hammer, and it exists for shaping metal rather than driving nails. Traditionally it is used for peening over rivets — spreading the end of a rivet into a rounded head — and for working metal into curves where a flat face would leave marks. The flat face handles ordinary striking: punches, small chisels, and general assembly work.

At 200 g this is a light hammer, and deliberately so. Engineering work is usually about precision rather than force — setting a punch accurately, tapping a component into alignment, starting a rivet. A heavy hammer in that work overshoots and does damage.

Technical Specifications

1) What is the ball pein end actually for?

Shaping metal. Traditionally it peens over rivets — spreading the rivet end into a rounded head — and works metal into curves where a flat face would leave flat marks.

2) Why such a light head at 200 g?

Because engineering work is about precision, not force. Setting a punch accurately, tapping a component into alignment, starting a rivet — a heavy hammer overshoots and does damage in all of those.

3) Can I use it for general DIY?

For metalwork, punches and small chisels, yes. For driving nails use a claw hammer, and for masonry or chisel work use a club hammer — at 200 g this is too light for either.

4) What safety gear do I need?

Safety goggles. Striking metal, punches or chisels throws fragments at speed. Also check the head is tight on the handle before each use.

5) Do I need to look after the punches I strike with it?

Yes — dress a mushroomed punch or chisel head before striking it. A mushroomed head throws steel fragments when hit, and those are exactly what goggles are protecting you from.
