Planishing is many light, accurate blows — and on silver or gold, every one of them has to leave the surface better than it found it. The nylon faces of this hammer make that possible on polished precious metal, while nine interchangeable tips give you a different forming profile for each stage of repoussé and shaping work.

Tips seat in the steel head against a set screw and swap over in moments with the supplied hex key, so changing profile is quicker than changing tools. The shaped wooden handle keeps the swing balanced and comfortable, and one hammer standing in for a rack of mallets returns a useful stretch of bench space to the work itself.

  • Includes nine interchangeable nylon tips with varied forming profiles.
  • Nylon faces prevent marring on polished silver, gold, and other soft metals.
  • Tips are secured in the steel head with a set screw; a hex key is supplied for fast changes.
  • A shaped wooden handle provides a comfortable, balanced grip during use.
  • Consolidates multiple mallets into one tool, saving valuable bench space.

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.
