This 1lb brass mallet is essential for precise metal forming and adjustment on your workbench. It delivers controlled force to shape precious metals without leaving unsightly marks.

What it does

The substantial brass head provides the necessary weight for effective metal movement, whether you're closing bezels or sinking settings. Its smooth, flat striking faces are carefully machined to ensure even contact with softer metals like gold and silver, preventing accidental damage. The solid hardwood handle, fitted securely through the head, offers a comfortable and balanced feel for repetitive tasks.

How to use it

  • Position your workpiece securely for striking.
  • Strike with controlled, deliberate blows.
  • Wipe clean after use; store dry.

Who it's for

This is a fundamental tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths. It's ideal for those moving beyond beginner stages, replacing aggressive steel hammers for delicate tasks like forming rings on a mandrel or fine-tuning bezels.

Common questions at the bench

What weight hammer should I start with?
For most bench work, 4–8 oz is the sweet spot. Lighter hammers (2–4 oz) suit fine detail and chasing punches; 6–8 oz suits forging and texture work. Avoid anything over 12 oz unless you specifically need a raising hammer.
Can I use this on annealed silver and copper?
Yes — these hammers are designed for non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine, britannia), copper, brass, bronze, and aluminium. The polished face will not transfer marks to clean annealed stock when used correctly. For mild steel work, use a separate hammer.
How should I care for it?
Wipe the face down after each session to prevent any tarnish from work residue marking your next piece. If the head develops nicks, polish them out with fine-grit emery and a buffing mop — a marked hammer face transfers marks to your work.
What is in the box?
One hammer with the head and handle fitted, ready for the bench. Polished faces are protected with a thin oil film — wipe before first use.
