TM 9-243 TYPES AND USES - Continued BLACKSMITH’S OR SLEDGE HAMMERS Blacksmith’s or sledge hammers are used for striking punches and chisels, for breaking stones and concrete, and for setting timbers. These hammers, although similar to the machinist’s hammers, give the user the advantage of a heavier head and a longer handle. A cross peen hammer is used as a chisel for removing rivet heads and for stretching or bending metal. A double face sledge hammer has similar faces on both sides of the head. A straight peen hammer is used like the cross peen but differs from the cross peen since its peening edge is turned ninety degrees. This keeps the handle parallel to the struck surface. BUMPING BODY HAMMER A bumping body hammer is used to straighten and form metal. The club hammer is a heavy double-faced demolition hammer. It is primarily used to break up masonry. Cross peen hammers have a broad flat face on one side of the head and a peening chisel edge on the other side. 21-3
