This pear-shaped Teflon hammer is essential for forming and dapping sheet metal without marring delicate surfaces.

What it does

This mallet delivers controlled, firm strikes crucial for shaping precious metals and non-ferrous alloys. Its solid Teflon head glides over polished surfaces, preventing scratches, dents, and discolouration often caused by metal hammers. The domed, pear-shaped head offers versatility, with the broader face ideal for general doming and the narrower tip for detailed shaping and repoussé work, ensuring precise metal movement with every tap.

How to use it

  • Position your metal over a dapping block or forming surface.
  • Strike the metal with controlled taps using the Teflon head.
  • Clean the head after use to maintain its non-marring finish.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and watchmakers. It's equally suited for advanced hobbyists and wire-workers seeking to create seamless forms. This mallet replaces the risk of damage associated with steel hammers, making it ideal for working with softer materials and intricate designs.

Jason ★★★★★

The pear shape fits perfectly in my hand and gives me much better control when shaping bezel wire. It transfers force exactly where I need it without any slipping or bouncing.

Stella ★★★★★

I was worried about marring my silver pieces, but the Teflon head slides smoothly across the metal without leaving a single scratch. Controlled taps from the 5-inch pear shape let me shape curves exactly where I want them.

Edward ★★★★★

The pear shape fits my hand perfectly, and the 5-inch head gives just enough weight for shaping silver without leaving marks. I’ve been using it for dapping rings, and the controlled strikes make a real difference in my forming work.
