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 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.
