Proto J1304PD Ball Pein Hammer 1/4 Lb 11 Inches

Product Description

The PROTO J1304PD is a ball pein hammer designed for general metalworking, riveting, and striking tasks in mechanical and trade environments. It features a 4-ounce (1/4 lb) head and an 11-inch overall length, making it a compact, lightweight option suited for confined work areas or precision striking applications. The handle is wood with a red lacquer grip, providing a firm hold during use. Licensed tradespeople including HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and electricians commonly keep a ball pein hammer in their toolkit for shaping metal, seating fittings, and driving punches or chisels.

This hammer is appropriate for both residential and commercial service work where a lightweight, maneuverable striking tool is needed. The 11-inch overall length fits within a standard tool bag or pouch without difficulty. The 4-ounce head weight is best suited for light-duty metal forming, punching, and general bench work rather than heavy demolition or driving tasks. It is a practical addition to a service technician's hand tool set.

Installation Notes

Ball pein hammers are hand tools requiring no installation. Inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before each use and replace if damaged. Do not strike hardened steel surfaces with the pein face unless the hammer is rated for such use. Store in a dry location to prevent handle swelling or splitting.
