One hammer, nine faces. With flat, domed, wedge and narrow flat nylon profiles that swap quickly onto the dual head, this covers most of the no-mark work a bench sees — shaping, work-hardening and flattening non-ferrous metal — without ever printing steel into a polished surface.

The head itself is chrome-plated steel, so there is genuine momentum behind each soft face, and every face locks in place with a grub screw driven by the included hex key. A smooth, contoured wooden handle balances the swing. Where a soft-faced hammer sits in your striking kit is covered in our guide to choosing a first jeweller's hammer.

  • Polished steel head fitted with two replaceable white nylon faces.
  • Supplied with a total of nine nylon faces in four profiles: flat, domed, wedge, and narrow flat.
  • Faces are secured by a grub screw and changed quickly using the included hex key.
  • Smooth, contoured wooden handle provides a balanced and comfortable grip.
  • Ideal for shaping, hardening, and flattening non-ferrous metals without leaving marks.

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.
