For riveting, chisel work and forming where a wood-handled hammer is the weak link. Forged from a single piece of steel, there is no head-to-handle joint to work loose under load — the failure point that eventually catches up with any hard-driven bench hammer.

The head measures 2-1/2" × 0.40" and carries a flat face for striking alongside a cross-pein for spreading rivets and forming. A knurled section on the handle keeps the grip secure when hands are moving fast, and the all-steel build transfers force directly into the blow. It suits jewellers, silversmiths and blacksmiths, and holds its own in light engineering work besides.

  • Solid one-piece steel construction eliminates the risk of head-handle separation under load.
  • Dual-face head features a flat face for striking and a cross-pein for riveting and forming.
  • Knurled handle section provides a secure, non-slip grip during heavy or sustained striking.
  • Forged entirely from steel for maximum durability and direct force transfer.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and blacksmiths who require a robust hammer for riveting and forming. Its solid build also makes it suitable for light engineering and metalworking tasks where a traditional hammer handle is not favoured.

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.
