Anyone who stamps metal regularly has caught a thumb; this holder retires the risk. The punch seats in the threaded central bore, your hand wraps the long handle well below the strike, and the hammer meets steel rather than knuckle. Accuracy improves too — the solid, weighted head holds letter, number and design punches steady and square on the blank.

It is machined from a single piece of stainless steel, so there are no joints to loosen under repeated blows, and the knurled grip stays certain even with dusty hands. Maintenance is nothing to speak of; stainless shrugs off workshop life.

  • Features a threaded central bore to securely hold letter, number, and design punches.
  • A long, knurled steel handle ensures a non-slip grip during hammer strikes.
  • Machined from a single piece of stainless steel for strength and longevity.
  • The solid, weighted head provides stability and shields the user's hand from the hammer.

Common questions at the bench

What metal does this punch work on?
Our steel letter, number, and design punches are heat-treated to strike non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine), copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, gold. Striking hardened steel will damage the face. For pewter and very soft alloys, use light strikes.
What size impression do I need?
1–2 mm for ring shanks and small pieces (initials, hallmark-style); 3–4 mm for pendant backs and signed plaques; 5 mm+ for presentation pieces and stamped jewellery components. Bigger is not always better — a clean small mark reads better than a struggle with an oversized one.
What do I strike it with?
A 1–2 lb brass mallet on a polished steel bench block. Do not use a steel hammer — it will deform the punch over time. One firm strike beats two soft ones for a clean impression.
How do I keep the punch sharp?
Polished punches stay sharp for thousands of strikes if you are hitting cleanly on a flat block. If the face starts blurring impressions, polish lightly with 600-grit emery, then a buffing mop on a polishing motor. Replace before the face deforms further.
