Default can you still get 4oz ball pein hammers?

I love my itty bitty little hammers, too. I forgot the chasing hammah
I got from Widget. It could be used as a ball peen, too.

In particular, I like the Starrett "toolmaker's hammer", a tiny
one-piece all-metal ball-pein with an open loop in the head into which
is inserted a lens to use as an assist in putting the tip of the prick
punch accurately on the intersection of the layout lines. And the
owner's manual is a nice bit of humor as well.

Enjoy,
DoN.
