I need a long-headed ball end hammer for peining rivets inside a helm. I've seen the one on Ironmongers page, but I don't think it will be long enough. Has anyone ever bought one from here?


Or if anyone is selling one, I'd be interested!!!

I just cut the ball off and welded a scrap piece of threaded rod in between for mine.

What you need is a rivet set. Use flat head rivets from the inside, start piening them from the outside with them supported by a stake then use a rivet set to finish them off leaving that nice rounded head.
