Air-Powered Sheet Metal Hammers

These air-powered tools remove dents, smooth out ridges, and shape sheet metal more efficiently than manual hammers. Fast, controlled blows allow you to create a smooth, even finish. Hammers include attachments with different radius sizes to form a variety of shapes and finishes. They have a sturdy metal frame to keep the hammer in place and a foot pedal to control the speed, leaving both hands free to guide the workpiece. An automatic oiler keeps the machine running smoothly.

Nonsparking Blacksmiths' Hammers

The faces and head are made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, so these tools inhibit sparking and are nonmagnetic and corrosion resistant. They satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Use the flat end of the head to strike metal, concrete, and stone; the wedge-shaped end is for shaping and bending metal. These tools are also known as cross-peen hammers. A textured grip provides slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Fiberglass Hammer Handles.

Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.
