What size Ball Pein Hammer to use?
Hello all! I saw a video on youtube about pinning a razor and they say to use a ball pein hammer, but they didn't say what size. I have found a sight that has Ball pein hammers from 1 oz. on up. I already have a small hammer for working on watches. Is this to small? Thanks for stopping by! Here's the site to find them; Hammers and Mallets - Lacy West Jewellery Tools and Supplies

I use a 2 and 4 oz.
This is also what most people use for razor peining but some like it heavier.

I've used a much larger one (I think it was 10oz) because that is all I had.... I just choked up on it a lot, it seemed to work fine.

Personally I wouldn't go over 4 oz.

You can also use a tablespoon instead of a ball peen hammer.
