Category: Jewellery Making Tools

For riveting, chisel work and forming where a wood-handled hammer is the weak link. Forged from a single piece of steel, there is no head-to-handle joint to work loose under load — the failure point that eventually catches up with any hard-driven bench hammer.

The head measures 2-1/2" × 0.40" and carries a flat face for striking alongside a cross-pein for spreading rivets and forming. A knurled section on the handle keeps the grip secure when hands are moving fast, and the all-steel build transfers force directly into the blow. It suits jewellers, silversmiths and blacksmiths, and holds its own in light engineering work besides.

  • Solid one-piece steel construction eliminates the risk of head-handle separation under load.
  • Dual-face head features a flat face for striking and a cross-pein for riveting and forming.
  • Knurled handle section provides a secure, non-slip grip during heavy or sustained striking.
  • Forged entirely from steel for maximum durability and direct force transfer.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and blacksmiths who require a robust hammer for riveting and forming. Its solid build also makes it suitable for light engineering and metalworking tasks where a traditional hammer handle is not favoured.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Richard ★★★★★

I was worried about hammers coming apart during heavy chisel work, but this one-piece steel design feels indestructible. The 2-1/2 inch head hits precisely without any wobble.

Eva ★★★★★

The weight is perfectly balanced for controlled chisel strokes, and since it’s all one piece of steel, I don’t worry about the head flying off mid-tap. It’s already saved me from replacing my old wooden-handle hammer that kept loosening up.

Lily U. ★★★★★

The one-piece forged steel construction is the whole reason I bought this, and after a week of heavy riveting, the head hasn't budged a millimeter. It's got a satisfying heft to it that makes precise chisel work feel much more controlled.
