Category: Jewellery Making Tools

A sliding hammer puts the blow exactly where the tool tip sits — the weight travels down the shaft and delivers a direct, linear impact along the tool's axis, with none of the aim-and-swing variability of a hand hammer. That control is what you want for riveting, punching, delicate forming and seating stones; if you're moving a bezel wall over a stone, our bezel setting guide shows where controlled force earns its keep.

Three interchangeable steel heads cover punching, forming and setting, held in a collet-style chuck that swaps them over in seconds. The sliding weight is steel, and the contoured hardwood handle gives a secure, comfortable hold while you position the tip before committing the blow.

  • Contoured hardwood handle provides a comfortable and secure grip during use.
  • The steel sliding weight delivers a direct, linear impact along the tool's axis.
  • Supplied with three interchangeable steel heads for punching, forming, and setting.
  • A collet-style chuck allows for quick and secure changing of the tool heads.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths engaged in stone setting, riveting, or delicate forming tasks. Also suitable for model makers and horologists requiring controlled, miniature impact work.

Zoe R. ★★★★★

Setting flush rivets on a cuff used to mean two or three misses for every solid hit, but the sliding weight on this thing lands the same every time because the impact travels straight down the shaft instead of swinging in an arc.

Richard ★★★★★

I've never been good at aiming a hammer, so the sliding action on this one fixed my biggest problem with riveting. The interchangeable heads swap out fast, and the impact lands dead straight every time. My flush rivets finally look intentional instead of dented.

Harper R. ★★★★★

The interchangeable heads swap in seconds, and the weight glides down the shaft so smoothly that each hit lands exactly on the tool tip without any wobble. I’ve been forming small bezels all afternoon and my strikes are finally precise instead of all over the place. This hammer completely changed ho
