Product Description
Our Chasing Hammer has many jewelry uses. As an example, most designs for making one piece earrings, will require the use of a chasing hammer and anvil to harden the rounded portion of the wire component that goes through the ear.A chasing hammer with a smooth face will always work well.

 fine for the price January 27, 2010
M. Boden (PA, USA)
I got this mainly for the price. I was looking for a hammer to use in tapping texture stamps and letter stamps into sheet silver and it works great for that. I would assume that it would flatten jewelry wire ok too. It is small (obviously) and not made to move lots of metal. It doesn't look like the photo - in the photo the head looks flatter and the ball end looks like a ball. The face of mine is gently domed and the ball end is domed too (not really ball shaped). The wooden handle is also much lighter in color than the hammer pictured. The ball end is nicely polished while the face has some minor scratches in it - which didn't bother me as I only got it to hammer on metal stamps. If you wanted to dress it yourself with sandpapers and make it perfectly smooth it wouldn't be too difficult as the scratches are very minor. The head is attached well (though I've only had it a month - we will see in time if it stays good and tight). All in all an attractive little hammer for the price.

I bought this hammer just to flatten/strenghten jewelry wire and it works just fine for that. I like it more than another one I purchased from Jewelry Suppliers because that one looked like it was going to fall apart after a few uses. This hammer is well made and serves it's purpose well.
 Very Small and Lightweight July 20, 2009

What can I say, really? It's a hammer!
It is smaller and MUCH lighter in weight than I expected, which makes shaping metal with it impossible. It seems to flatten thin wire fine, but I had intended to use it for heavier metals like sheet brass, and the head is just is not hefty enough to do that.
The handle of the hammer I received is an unstained light color, and the metal was not as smoothly finished as the picture shows. It looks like something one would buy at a discount tool store.
If you are looking for a lightweight hammer, this would work for you. if you need something with more pounding authority, look elsewhere.
