USA made Ball Pein Hammer

[LCE]

Hi,
I know Martin Sprocket sells a 2 ounce ball peen (101G) and Vaughn has discontinued theirs.
Is there any other USA made 2 ounce ball peen hammers available?

If it has to be USA I would look to new old stock on eBay or just lightly used.

He wants a 2 ounce, not 12 ounce.

My bad I saw the 2 in model number and thought it was 2 oz. They apparently make a 4 oz. As does Blue Point and Proto but not certain of COO. For what it's worth I have several Martin body Hammers and they're very good quality I would buy that if available.

Summit Racing has the 2 ounce Martin in stock.

Check with Harry J Epsteins. I bought some tiny USA ball peins from them years back.

Thanks guys
I'll most likely go with the Martin but not from summit,estimated ship date is December...I appreciate the lead though Wamsutta.

Out of curiosity what would you all suggest for a good quality 2 ounce ball peen even if it isn't US made?

Not supposed to post links to ebay so maybe a retailer has a Grayvik Ball Peen Hammer.

Thanks Flyingblind
Don't know how the Grayvik never showed up in my searches.

Grayvik versus Martin....which one is the better choice?

I didn't know they were that scarce? I get most of my hammers as detached heads from estate and garage sales and either carve handles to balance them for what I need, or wait for a vintage handle to come along. I have 3? The only all original one is red and I thought it looked cool, so it's hanging up.

Seems like Vaughn still makes 4oz & bigger?

And not USA or that small 2oz... Husky has at least 8 & 16oz peens made in Vietnam that are actually kinda decent. Not as refined as Vaughns but not bad at all & really similar.
