Overview

The HR-033 is a carbon steel hammer with a rubber grip, weighing 0.42 kilograms, about 0.93 pounds, sold as a single piece rather than a set. The Ball prefix in the title hints at a ball peen style head, though the listing itself does not confirm the exact shape.

Carbon steel heads hold up under repeated striking, and the rubber grip is a cushioned alternative to a bare steel or wood handle. Treat the ball peen read as a hint from the title rather than a confirmed spec.
