Proto J1308AVP Ball Pein Hammer 0.5 Lb Steel Handle

Product Description

The PROTO J1308AVP is a ball pein hammer built for professional trade use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service environments. The head is forged from one-piece steel construction, weighing 8 ounces (0.5 pounds), and measures 0.97 inches in face diameter. The 11-inch steel handle is fitted with a molded textured rubber grip and an Anti-Vibe design that reduces transmitted vibration during repeated strikes. Overall length is 11 inches. This hammer is intended for metalworking tasks including setting rivets, rounding fastener edges, and striking punches and chisels. It is installed and used by licensed tradespeople and experienced service technicians.

The J1308AVP is suited for residential and light commercial service work where a compact, mid-weight ball pein hammer is required. Typical applications include mechanical rooms, equipment installations, sheet metal work, and general maintenance tasks across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. The Anti-Vibe handle is particularly useful in high-repetition striking tasks where operator fatigue is a concern. The molded rubber grip maintains control in both dry and oily hand conditions common in field environments.
