One block, two working faces. The steel side is a 97 mm square anvil for stamping blanks, flattening wire, forming and riveting — flat, hard and dependable under the hammer. Flip it over and the rubber side takes the delicate jobs, cushioning work that a bare steel face would mark.
The dense rubber base doubles as shock absorption, damping vibration and taking the ring out of hammer work — something your workbench and your neighbours will both notice. At 1.9 kg the block sits firmly where you put it and stays there through a full stamping run.
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.
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.
