If a workshop owns only one forming stake, it tends to be a No. 1. This 9-inch, double-ended pattern covers both synclastic and anticlastic curves in sheet, which makes it the sensible starting point for raising and holloware — and the reference the rest of a stake set builds around.

Hardened steel, polished to a mirror finish so the surface never prints marks into your metal, with a central hexagonal block that mounts securely in a vice or stake holder and stays put under the hammer.

  • Made from hardened steel and polished to a mirror finish to prevent marking your work.
  • Double-ended design provides both synclastic and anticlastic profiles on a single tool.
  • Central hexagonal block ensures secure mounting in a vice or stake holder.
  • Features the versatile No. 1 profile, the most essential starting point for a forming stake set.
  • All stock is held in the UK, ready for same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm.

Amelia ★★★★★

I've been using this stake to shape copper cuffs and the double-ended design saves a lot of time switching between curves. The steel feels really solid under the hammer, no bouncing or dinging. Exactly what my small bench needed.

Matthew ★★★★★

The polished finish is so smooth that my sheet metal glides across it without catching, and the 9-inch length gives me plenty of control for tight anticlastic curves. I've only had it a week, but it's already replaced two older stakes on my bench.

Daniel P. ★★★★★

The double-ended design means I can switch between synclastic and anticlastic curves without swapping tools mid-project. It's solid enough to take a real hammering without bouncing around the bench. This stake covers all the basic shapes I need for starting out with sheet metal.
