peens

Rounded hammer parts

Peens is the plural of peen, the head of a hammer opposite the striking face—typically wedge-shaped or rounded.

A ball-peen hammer has a hemispherical peen used for shaping metal.

The verb peen means to work metal by striking it: He peened the rivet flat.

Peening hardens surfaces through repeated blows.
