Stamping and forming directly on the bench transmits every blow into the timber — and the neighbours hear about it. This 6 x 6 inch rubber block sits underneath the work instead, absorbing the impact without rebound, deadening noise and vibration, and sparing both bench top and workpiece.

The rubber is dense enough that the full inch of thickness stays stable under dapping and forming, and the generous face gives room for stamping, punching and leatherwork alike. Black, heavy and entirely uncomplicated.

  • Provides a substantial 6 x 6 inch work surface for a range of hammering tasks.
  • Dense rubber construction absorbs the energy of hammer blows without rebound.
  • Protects delicate workpieces and bench surfaces from marks and damage.
  • Dampens vibration and noise for quieter, more comfortable bench work.
  • Solid one-inch thickness provides a stable base for dapping and forming.

Who it's for

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.
