Three bench fixtures in one clamp-on tool: a machined, polished anvil for flattening and light forming, a holder for the included hardwood bench pin, and a V-groove that steadies ring and bracelet mandrels while you work. The pin itself is reversible — flat side for filing support, V-slot for sawing wire and piercing sheet.
The body is a single cast iron piece weighing 2 kg, stable under light hammering and sawing, and the screw clamp fixes it to any bench or table up to 50mm thick — and removes just as quickly. Well suited to compact workshops where a permanent fixture is not an option.
Combines a smooth anvil, bench pin holder, and mandrel support in one tool.
Clamps securely to any bench or worktop up to 50mm (2 inches) thick.
Includes a reversible hardwood bench pin with a flat side and a V-slot.
Main body is constructed from cast iron with a machined, polished anvil surface.
Weighs 1.0 kg, providing a stable base for hammering, filing, and sawing.
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.
