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 is it for?
Check this product's description for the jobs it is made for. In general, a soft-faced mallet or hammer, with a face such as nylon, plastic, wood, rubber or brass, moves, trues and flattens metal with less marking and stretching than a steel hammer: for example truing a ring or bangle on a mandrel, closing a bezel, flattening sheet or wire, or shaping metal over a stake or into a block.
Will it mark my work?
It marks much less than a steel hammer, but any face can still leave a mark if there is grit, filings or a burr on the face or on the work, or if the rim of the face digs in. Keep the face clean and smooth and strike squarely.
Can I strike punches or stamps with it?
Only if this product's description says so. The small, hard end of a steel punch, stamp or chisel can dent or cut a nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber face, and a damaged face will then mark your work.
How should I look after it?
Wipe the faces clean after use and keep them free of grit, filings and polishing compound. Store it dry and away from heat. If a face becomes chipped, cut or rough, smooth it, or replace it if this product's faces are replaceable, before using it on finished work.
