The Beadsmith Two-Sided Chasing Hammer - 10.75 Inches Wooden Handle, 2.25” Steel Head with a 14mm Ball Pein & 1.1"/ 28mm Domed Face - Tool Used to Add Texture and Dimension to Metalwork, 4oz./113g

Great hammer.

Excellent quality, good grip, and easy to use. Makes a really nice textured pattern. This is easily my most used jewelry hammer at the moment.

Great hammer. I use it often. However, I caution any else about using it on any metals harder than gold, silver, brass, or copper. You may damage or marr nice surfaces.

Item was just as I expected! I look forward to incorporating it into my repair and hobby activities. I consider it a good value for its quality, functionality, weight and ease of use.

I am just getting started using wire and metal in my jewelry making. I have a wire wrapping book that suggested using a chasing hammer to flatten some wire motifs you make for one of the projects, so I bought this. I realize it isn't top of the line, but it was within my price range and I didn't want to spend top dollar when I wasn't even sure I would like the hobby of wire wrapping. As it turns out, I do like wire wrapping. I especially like hammering things flat. Perhaps I have some aggression I need to get out? Anyway, I used this to pound a bunch of various copper wire spirals and other constructions flat (I originally made them with dead soft round wire). It helped work harden them, plus it is not as heavy as my one pound brass headed hammer, so it is a bit easier for me to work with. (For hammering, I put down a mouse pad to dampen vibrations and then on top of that, I put a steel bench block.) I have had no issues with the quality of this product so far. (Mine is from Beadaholique.) The handle is securely fastened to the head and mine does NOT have a chrome finish but seems to be solid steel based on weight, appearance, and performance. The handle is not splitting or cracking and looks like a nice, solid piece of wood. I did want to point out that the larger side of the hammer's head is not domed. It is quite flat. This *may* cause issues with edge marks showing if you are hammering something larger than the rounded part, but it was not a problem for me because I was hammering little spirals and other wire motifs. (The smaller side is rounded and you can hammer with that if you want.) It is comfortable to hold in my hands (I am a small-framed, small-boned woman). At some point, I will probably upgrade, but for now, this is perfectly suitable for my needs.

A size as well. Easy to use. Not bad value. I expand more quality for this price. Weights is good. Good functionality.

Chasing hammer great to pound rings more smooth and flat edges

Exactly what I needed. Slight curve, perfect size, ergo handle.

This chasing hammer has a nice feel to it. My husband immediately tried it out and said it felt good in the hand. We hammered some wire and was very pleased with the results. The hammer is very well made. The wood on the handle is smooth with no roughness noted.

È proprio quello che cercavo. Maneggevole e valido

Le meilleur marteau que j’ai chez moi pour la fabrication des bijoux. Très légères et pratique. Merci

Small but mighty - very useful hammer.

Nice lite hammer with nice finish. Couldn't beat the price as good as a more expensive hammer.
