Grace USA Wide-Face Brass Hammer, 8 oz

The Grace USA Wide-Face Brass Hammer, 8 oz (brand part no. BH-8L) is a gunsmithing hammer from Grace USA with a wide brass head that spreads striking force over a broader area than a standard round-face hammer. Brass is soft enough to avoid marring steel parts, sights, and pins on contact, which makes it a safer choice than a steel hammer for driving punches or seating parts. At 8 oz, it has enough mass for controlled, repeatable strikes without the extra weight of a full-size hammer. The wide face is especially handy for square, even hits on sight installation and disassembly work.

Key Specifications

• 8 oz head weight gives controlled, repeatable striking force for bench work.
• Wide brass face spreads strikes over a broader area for square, even hits.
• Brass construction avoids marring steel parts, sights, and pins on contact.
