This unique tool is designed by master metal shaper Ron Covell and is his preferred method for smoothing lumpy metal. It is ideal for planishing both steel and aluminum panels. Because it has a much larger footprint than a traditional hammer, it is perfect for metal finishing and will leave fewer marks than traditional hammers. The Covell Slap Hammer is beautifully handcrafted from 4130 chrome-moly steel and heat-treated to Rockwell 44 for durability, then polished to a high luster and laser-engraved with the Covell logo. The high-density foam grip makes it comfortable to use for extended periods. The Covell Slap Hammer will quickly become your favorite hand tool as well!
