For jewellers who need to dome, spread, and harden precious metal sheet. This dapping hammer combines a fixed steel ball peen for forming with an interchangeable flat face, supplied with both steel and nylon tips for mark-free finishing, all from UK stock.
Key features
Features a fixed, polished steel ball peen on one end for dapping and forming.
The opposite flat face is interchangeable, supplied with both steel and nylon screw-in tips.
Use the nylon tip for hardening and finishing work without marking the metal surface.
The flat steel tip allows for effective flattening and spreading of metal.
Handle features a textured, dimpled grip for secure handling during use.
Who it's for
A core tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and craftspeople working with non-ferrous sheet metal. Ideal for doming, raising, and planishing tasks where both force and finesse are required without switching mallets.

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.
