A complete dapping outfit: eight punches from 5 to 27 mm, a steel block with matching hemispherical recesses, and a labelled wooden stand that keeps every size in order. Work a piece down through the recesses and sheet metal curves into clean domes for jewellery, findings and craft work.
The punches carry polished steel ball tips on robust handles, built to take repeated hammer or mallet work, and the polished tips leave the domed surface clean rather than bruised. Consistent, repeatable results, punch after punch.
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.
