A large nylon hammer for forming sheet metal without leaving marks to polish out. The tapered wedge face concentrates force for repoussé and detail forming; the broad, flat cylindrical face planishes and shapes larger curves. Because the head is non-marring plastic, you can work directly on finished surfaces in precious or non-precious metal and keep them clean.

The 12 cm nylon head is fitted to a smooth, shaped hardwood handle that balances comfortably through longer forming sessions. Keep the faces free of embedded grit — a clean nylon face is what protects the work — and the hammer will keep delivering mark-free forming.

  • Features a 12 cm non-marring nylon head with both a wedge and a flat cylindrical face.
  • The tapered wedge face concentrates force for detailed repoussé and forming work.
  • A broad, flat cylindrical face allows for general planishing and shaping of larger areas.
  • Fitted with a smooth, shaped hardwood handle for a balanced and comfortable grip.
  • The nylon construction prevents scratches and marks when working on finished metal surfaces.

Common questions at the bench

What is it for?
Check this product's description for the jobs it is made for. In general, a soft-faced mallet or hammer, with a face such as nylon, plastic, wood, rubber or brass, moves, trues and flattens metal with less marking and stretching than a steel hammer: for example truing a ring or bangle on a mandrel, closing a bezel, flattening sheet or wire, or shaping metal over a stake or into a block.
Will it mark my work?
It marks much less than a steel hammer, but any face can still leave a mark if there is grit, filings or a burr on the face or on the work, or if the rim of the face digs in. Keep the face clean and smooth and strike squarely.
Can I strike punches or stamps with it?
Only if this product's description says so. The small, hard end of a steel punch, stamp or chisel can dent or cut a nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber face, and a damaged face will then mark your work.
How should I look after it?
Wipe the faces clean after use and keep them free of grit, filings and polishing compound. Store it dry and away from heat. If a face becomes chipped, cut or rough, smooth it, or replace it if this product's faces are replaceable, before using it on finished work.
