Stamping & Forming Hammer — Square Head, 1.75 LB, 8" Length, Jewellery Making Mallet

A stamping hammer built around one idea: the strike should land flat. Two square faces give a broad, stable contact patch on the head of a letter punch or design stamp, so the impression drives deep and even instead of glancing off. At 1.75 lb (approx. 790g), one deliberate blow does the work of three timid ones.

The 8-inch overall length keeps the balance close to the hand for accurate placement, and the shaped hardwood handle grips securely. Leatherworkers and fabricators will find uses too, but at the jewellery bench it partners letter punches and maker's marks — our guide to reading UK hallmarks covers the official marks beside them.

• Substantial 1.75lb (approx. 790g) steel head delivers the force needed for deep impressions.
• Two flat, square striking faces provide a large, stable contact area on stamp and punch heads.
• A shaped hardwood handle offers a secure, comfortable grip for controlled strikes.
• The 8-inch overall length provides excellent balance and control over the strike point.
• Reduces the chance of the hammer rolling off the stamp, minimising mis-strikes and spoiled work.

Who it's for

Primarily for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and craftspeople who regularly stamp hallmarks, maker's marks, or decorative designs onto metal. Also suitable for leatherworkers and general metal fabricators using letter punches and chisels.
