This solid hardwood mallet delivers controlled, non-marring strikes essential for shaping metal and assembling delicate components on your workbench.
What it does
Its smooth, natural hardwood construction ensures a gentle impact, preventing scratches or dents on softer metals and finished surfaces. The 1-1/8" flat face provides a consistent surface for tapping and forming, while the balanced weight distribution offers precise control for intricate work. This tool allows for firm persuasion without damaging your workpiece, a crucial element for detailed jewellery and craft projects.
How to use it
- Select the mallet for gentle tapping and forming.
- Strike workpieces with smooth, controlled movements.
- Wipe clean after use to maintain the finish.
Who it's for
Ideal for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, watchmakers, and serious hobbyists. This mallet replaces damaging metal hammers for tasks like planishing soft metals, setting small components, or working with wire, offering a gentler alternative for precise finishing.

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.
