Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Truing a ring on the mandrel, closing a bangle, flattening sheet that has developed a bow — do any of it with a steel face and you have booked yourself a planishing session afterwards. The two 1.25" nylon faces on this mallet move metal without marking it, which is exactly what forming, repoussé and assembly taps ask for.

Under the nylon sits a solid metal head, so the mallet carries genuine momentum despite its soft striking faces, and the smooth, contoured wooden handle gives it a comfortable balance in the hand. If you are still building your striking kit, our guide to choosing a first jeweller's hammer explains where a soft mallet sits alongside steel.

  • Dual 1.25" diameter nylon faces provide a broad, non-marring striking surface.
  • Smooth, contoured wooden handle offers a comfortable and secure grip during use.
  • Solid metal head construction ensures balanced weight for controlled strikes.
  • The flat faces distribute impact evenly, ideal for flattening and forming metal sheet.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Sophia ★★★★★

That nylon head is an absolute lifesaver for hammering out a bow in a sheet without leaving a single mark. The weight and balance feel perfect in hand, and my rings are finally coming off the mandrel true without any extra planishing work.

Amelia ★★★★★

The wooden handle sits comfortably in my palm for longer hammering sessions, and the nylon head delivers a solid but forgiving strike. I flattened a warped sheet without leaving a single mark, which is exactly what I needed.

Zoe ★★★★★

This is my third nylon mallet and the first one with a wooden handle that actually feels comfortable for extended use. The 1.25 inch head is perfect for gently closing bangles without marking them up.
