The Beadalon Chasing Hammer is a lightweight, well-balanced hammer designed for detailed work and controlled handling. It is especially useful for both jewelry makers and bookbinders because it combines practicality, manageable weight, and a highly functional head design.
It features a wooden handle for a steady and comfortable grip, and a dual-purpose head with two working surfaces:
the wide flat face is used to flatten, shape, or refine the surface of metal objects, while the rounded ball-peen end is suited for chasing and more focused forming work.
In jewelry making, it is ideal for shaping metal, flattening surfaces, and carrying out techniques that require controlled impact and precision. Its light weight helps reduce fatigue and makes detailed work easier to manage.
In bookbinding, this hammer is particularly useful because its wide flat face can strike the spine evenly and correctly. This helps the sections settle more uniformly, supports cleaner spine shaping, and gives better control even when working with thinner paper or more delicate book structures. It is the kind of tool that delivers exactly the amount of force needed without feeling heavy or clumsy.
This is a versatile hammer worth having on the workbench of any maker working with detail, whether in jewelry, metalwork, or bookbinding.
