- Ball peen models are used for striking, driving punches and chisels, shaping metal, setting rivets, and peening work.
- Rounded peen ends support pounding, shaping, and texturing metal.
- The cross peen profile helps concentrate blows for shaping and spreading metal in forging, bending, and metal-forming tasks.
