Blacksmiths' Hammers
Strike metal, concrete, and stone with the flat end of these hammers; the wedge-shaped end is for bending and shaping metal. They're also known as cross-peen hammers. For replacement handles, see Hickory Hammer Handles.
Hickory handles resist vibration. Steel handles are stronger than hickory handles but have less vibration resistance. Fiberglass handles resist breakage if you miss your mark.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.
