When metal needs persuading and the surface has to stay clean, this is the tool to reach for. The two flat nylon faces move sheet and wire firmly without the marks a steel hammer would leave, and the broad 2 inch diameter spreads each blow — the right behaviour for evening out a surface or coaxing a gentle curve into shape.

The head is securely fitted to a lightweight wooden handle shaped for a settled, comfortable grip, so the mallet swings on balance rather than muscle. A dependable everyday striker for soft and non-ferrous metals: nothing to adjust, nothing to fuss over, and no rescue work on polished surfaces afterwards.

  • Two 2-inch diameter flat nylon faces for shaping metal without causing marks.
  • The broad face distributes impact, ideal for evening out surfaces and forming gentle curves.
  • A lightweight wooden handle is shaped for a secure and comfortable grip during use.
  • Head is securely fitted to the handle for reliable, everyday bench work.

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.
