    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.
