This heavy-duty rubber bench block provides a stable, shock-absorbing surface for all your metal stamping and forming tasks.

What it does

The dense, solid rubber construction effectively deadens hammer blows, preventing rebound and tool migration during detailed work. This ensures your punches strike true and your metal stays precisely where you place it. Its substantial 1-inch thickness absorbs impact, protecting both your benchtop and your delicate workpieces from damage. The consistently flat top and bottom surfaces guarantee unwavering stability, allowing for precise control over every strike.

How to use it

  • Place the block on a stable workbench surface.
  • Position your workpiece and strike with your hammer and punch.
  • Wipe clean after use to maintain its surface integrity.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths needing a reliable surface for stamping, dapping, and forming. It's also ideal for leatherworkers and serious hobbyists requiring a durable, impact-absorbing platform. This block replaces less stable surfaces, offering superior control for intricate metal manipulation.

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.
