Stanley Proto J1308AVP Antivibe Ball Pein Hammer, 8-Ounce

The weight of this hammer makes it very versatile. It can double for jewelry repair to light handyman applications. The steel shaft makes it as close to indestructible as a hammer can be and the rubber handle is very comfortable. It lacks a claw but the ball turns out to have many uses. Balance is irrelevant to me because I sometimes choke up on the handle, depending on the job. This hammer is a little on the expensive side but worth it in my estimation.

This hammer is built really well. It’s the same manufacturer that makes the MAC hammers. The antivibe technology in the handle is very good at reducing shock and fatigue. I recommend this hammer to anyone in the market.

Excellent quality, best I’ve used. One point of improvement would be for the handle to be scaled down a bit to be more match the head size.

Nice, small hammer for lighter, smaller work or greater precision. The head and metal handle are nicely finished, and the grip comfortable without being too soft. Good shock absorbing qualities. Time will tell how well it will last, but I have a feeling this will last year's, if not decades.

I use this as a diesel mechanic to fit in tight spaces really solid hammer

Needed a small ball pein hammer. This one is perfect.

Great hammer identical to my Mac tools hammer

Great small hammer
