What is a "cross peen hammer"?
A cross peen hammer is a type of hammer with a flat striking face on one side and a narrow, wedge-shaped head on the other, known as the "peen." The peen, positioned at a 90-degree angle to the handle, is used for shaping metal, spreading, or drawing out materials in metalworking and blacksmithing. The flat side is used for general hammering tasks, such as driving nails, while the cross peen allows for more precise control when shaping or working with metal. The cross peen hammer is commonly used in metalworking, blacksmithing, and carpentry, as its design offers precision for striking metal and working on smaller, more delicate tasks.
