They handles are small and so smooth.  The heads are made of steel and each head is different.

The two sides of this hammer work in tandem with one another. The domed side will spread the wire leaving a slight texture. The plastic side will strengthen the metal without changing the shape.

This hammer creates two different sizes of distressed marks. Both are smaller than the chasing hammers on the market, making it very desirable.

This special hammer leaves very tiny distress marks thus earning the name “sand and pebble”.
The most popular yet!

This raising hammer spreads the metal in two directions instead of all directions like the three above. The rectangular shape is the reason for this. When metal or wire is pounded with these, the metal will spread like rolling out dough.

Use the edge instead and you will achieve a brick like pattern or a wave pattern. When used on a round link, follow the arch of the link to get a striated effect.

For sharp lines in the wire or metal.
