Ball peen hammers are sized according to their _______________.

Aoverall length
Bface diameter
Chead weight
Dpeen head size
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) head weight. Ball peen hammers are sized according to the weight of their head, not the overall length, face diameter, or peen head size. This is the standard way of sizing and identifying ball peen hammers, as the head weight is the primary factor that determines the power and force the hammer can deliver. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly correspond to the sizing convention for ball peen hammers, which is based on the head weight rather than the other physical dimensions mentioned.
