This combination bench block offers two distinct surfaces in one compact tool. The primary face is a 97 mm square solid steel block, providing a durable, flat anvil for metal stamping, forming, and riveting.

Flip the block over to use the integrated rubber base as a work surface. This non-marring face is suitable for more delicate tasks, while the dense rubber construction effectively absorbs shock and dampens vibration, protecting your workbench and reducing noise. Its substantial 1.9 kg weight ensures it remains stable during hammering.

Use this block for flattening wire for jewellery, stamping designs into soft metal blanks, or forming small components for model engineering.

  • Solid steel block measures 97 x 97 x 16.7 mm for a stable work surface.
  • Reversible design offers a non-marring 109 mm square rubber face for delicate tasks.
  • Dense rubber base absorbs shock, reducing vibration and noise on the workbench.
  • Provides a total weight of 1.9 kg for excellent stability during use.
  • Ideal for stamping, forming, flattening, and riveting soft metals and wire.

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.
