For persuading metal without leaving evidence: truing rings, forming bezels, seating an assembly — anywhere a steel face would print marks into polished work. The compact 1.5-inch (approx. 38mm) nylon faces land force precisely on small, intricate components without bruising the areas either side of the strike.

The two nylon faces sit on a solid central head body, mounted on a shaped wooden handle that balances well for controlled tapping. Its light weight is the point — enough to move and true delicate parts, never enough to stretch or scar them. All stock is held in the UK.

  • 1.5-inch (approx. 38mm) diameter nylon faces for mark-free striking on polished metals.
  • Shaped wooden handle provides a comfortable and balanced grip during use.
  • Compact head allows for precise strikes on small or intricate components.
  • Lightweight design is well-suited for controlled tapping and adjustment of delicate parts.
  • Durable construction with a solid central head body securing the two nylon faces.

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.
