Master intricate metal shaping and repoussé with this versatile double-ended mallet, designed for controlled strikes without surface damage.
What it does
This essential bench tool delivers two distinct striking surfaces for precise metal manipulation. The firm plastic face is ideal for initial shaping and texturing, while the softer rubber face offers a gentler touch for refining delicate details and ensuring no marring. Its balanced, polished metal head, fitted with a turned hardwood handle, provides comfortable control for repetitive tasks, making it indispensable for detailed forming work on softer metals.
How to use it
- Select the appropriate head for your metal and desired outcome.
- Strike the metal with controlled, deliberate blows.
- Clean heads after use to maintain their integrity.
Who it's for
A must-have for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths engaged in repoussé, chasing, or general forming. It's also an excellent choice for wire-workers and hobbyists seeking a reliable, non-marking hammer to replace harsher alternatives for detailed metal manipulation.

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.
