A light hammer for shaping wire, doming discs and laying decorative texture into non-ferrous metal. At 4 oz (113g), the head has enough mass to move metal yet stays light enough for accurate, low-fatigue work — a sensible weight if you are choosing your first jeweller's hammer.

The flat face planishes; the ball peen textures and rivets. Both faces are polished steel, so the surfaces meeting your metal stay clean, and the head is securely mounted on a smooth, shaped hardwood handle with black-finished cheeks. Wipe the faces after use — any nick or blemish a hammer face picks up prints straight back into your work.

  • Dual-head design with a flat face for planishing and a ball peen for texturing.
  • 4oz / 113g head provides sufficient mass for forming whilst remaining light for control.
  • Polished steel faces on both the peen and the flat head for clean metal contact.
  • Smooth, shaped hardwood handle provides a comfortable and secure grip.
  • Securely mounted head with black-finished cheeks for durability.

Who it's for

An everyday hammer for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and coppersmiths working with precious and non-ferrous metals. Also suited for craft workers and model engineers who require a lightweight hammer for delicate forming and riveting tasks.

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.
