A ball-peen hammer is an upholsterers tool, and basically dates from before air-nailers which they all seem to use nowadays. It has one round flat head for striking regular nails and one narrow flat head ,the 'peen' -this is intended to hit thin nails that you are holding straight, without trapping or hitting your fingers.
