Truing a ring on the mandrel, closing a bangle, flattening sheet that has developed a bow — do any of it with a steel face and you have booked yourself a planishing session afterwards. The two 1.25" nylon faces on this mallet move metal without marking it, which is exactly what forming, repoussé and assembly taps ask for.

Under the nylon sits a solid metal head, so the mallet carries genuine momentum despite its soft striking faces, and the smooth, contoured wooden handle gives it a comfortable balance in the hand. If you are still building your striking kit, our guide to choosing a first jeweller's hammer explains where a soft mallet sits alongside steel.

  • Dual 1.25" diameter nylon faces provide a broad, non-marring striking surface.
  • Smooth, contoured wooden handle offers a comfortable and secure grip during use.
  • Solid metal head construction ensures balanced weight for controlled strikes.
  • The flat faces distribute impact evenly, ideal for flattening and forming metal sheet.

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.
