For moving metal without leaving evidence: the solid Teflon head shapes silver, gold or copper sheet while polished surfaces stay polished. And because the construction is dead blow, the head does not bounce — the full energy of each strike passes into the metal, so forming progresses in fewer, more predictable blows than a lively mallet allows.

The cylindrical head is a substantial 44 × 98mm, giving a broad contact patch that spreads force and avoids local dents, and the turned hardwood handle has the natural, familiar feel of a traditional forming tool. Keep the head clean and away from sharp burrs and it will keep leaving no trace.

  • Solid Teflon head prevents any marking or damage to polished metal surfaces.
  • Dead blow construction eliminates rebound for maximum energy transfer per strike.
  • Large 44 x 98 mm cylindrical head provides a broad contact area for forming.
  • Turned hardwood handle offers a comfortable, natural grip for prolonged bench work.

Who it's for

An essential mallet for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths working with non-ferrous metals like silver, gold, and copper. Also suitable for restorers and fabricators who need to shape delicate sheet metal without leaving a trace.

Abigail V. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this mallet for forming silver bezels and it doesn’t leave any tool marks on the polished surface. The dead blow action really does stop the bounce, making each strike more controlled than a regular hammer.

Alexander ★★★★★

This mallet's Teflon head is perfect for forming silver wire without leaving a single scratch, which saved me hours of polishing. The wooden handle feels nicely balanced and comfortable during extended use.

Steven ★★★★★

I was worried the teflon might scratch my polished copper, but it leaves the surface completely untouched while forming. The dead blow construction really absorbs the shock, so hand fatigue isn't an issue even after an hour of shaping.
