Stone Setting & Riveting Sliding Hammer — Interchangeable Heads for Forming & Punching
A sliding hammer puts the blow exactly where the tool tip sits — the weight travels down the shaft and delivers a direct, linear impact along the tool's axis, with none of the aim-and-swing variability of a hand hammer. That control is what you want for riveting, punching, delicate forming and seating stones; if you're moving a bezel wall over a stone, our bezel setting guide shows where controlled force earns its keep.
Three interchangeable steel heads cover punching, forming and setting, held in a collet-style chuck that swaps them over in seconds. The sliding weight is steel, and the contoured hardwood handle gives a secure, comfortable hold while you position the tip before committing the blow.
- Contoured hardwood handle provides a comfortable and secure grip during use.
- The steel sliding weight delivers a direct, linear impact along the tool's axis.
- Supplied with three interchangeable steel heads for punching, forming, and setting.
- A collet-style chuck allows for quick and secure changing of the tool heads.
