At 5 mm, these characters are made to be read — names across a cuff, a date on a bangle, a word on a statement pendant: bold marks that smaller punches would lose. The 37-piece set covers A–Z, 0–9 and an ampersand, so most inscriptions are already on the bench. Softer metals take the impression best; our metals guide is a quick refresher.

Each punch is hardened steel, cut to drive deep, lasting impressions into non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminium tags. The square-section shanks sit stable between the fingers as you line up and strike, and the two red plastic cases keep all 37 in order between commissions.

  • Complete 37-piece set includes A-Z, 0-9, and ampersand (&) characters.
  • Produces a clear 5mm character height suitable for larger work.
  • Hardened steel construction for creating deep, lasting impressions on non-ferrous metals.
  • Square-section shanks provide a secure and stable grip whilst striking.
  • Supplied in two durable red plastic cases for organised bench storage.

Common questions at the bench

What metal does this punch work on?
Our steel letter, number, and design punches are heat-treated to strike non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine), copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, gold. Striking hardened steel will damage the face. For pewter and very soft alloys, use light strikes.
What size impression do I need?
1–2 mm for ring shanks and small pieces (initials, hallmark-style); 3–4 mm for pendant backs and signed plaques; 5 mm+ for presentation pieces and stamped jewellery components. Bigger is not always better — a clean small mark reads better than a struggle with an oversized one.
What do I strike it with?
A 1–2 lb brass mallet on a polished steel bench block. Do not use a steel hammer — it will deform the punch over time. One firm strike beats two soft ones for a clean impression.
How do I keep the punch sharp?
Polished punches stay sharp for thousands of strikes if you are hitting cleanly on a flat block. If the face starts blurring impressions, polish lightly with 600-grit emery, then a buffing mop on a polishing motor. Replace before the face deforms further.
