This Teflon domed mallet is engineered for precise metal forming, delivering controlled strikes for dapping and repoussé without surface damage.

What it does

The solid Teflon head imparts shaping force onto precious metals, ideal for creating domes and intricate textures in sheet metal. Its pear shape concentrates mass for effective blows, while the domed face ensures even contact and prevents sharp imprints. The smoothly turned hardwood handle offers a comfortable, secure grip, allowing for sustained work. This tool is designed to protect polished surfaces from scratches and marks, preserving the integrity of your fine metalwork.

How to use it

  • Position your metal over a forming block.
  • Strike gently, working the metal into shape.
  • Clean head with a soft cloth to maintain finish.

Who it's for

Essential for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths working with gold, silver, and copper sheet. This mallet is a practical upgrade for those moving beyond basic shaping, replacing less forgiving hammers for detailed repoussé and dapping. Suitable for intermediate to professional artisans seeking a non-marring tool.

Ryan C. ★★★★★

I've been hammering copper blanks for years and always had to sand out dents afterward. This 12.7 cm mallet gave me clean shaping strikes on my last repoussé piece with no refinishing needed. The weight feels right for controlled taps too.

Alexander ★★★★★

The domed Teflon head leaves zero marks on annealed copper, which is exactly what I needed for repoussé work. I was worried the 12.7 cm size would feel bulky but it's actually well balanced for controlled strikes. Finally a mallet that shapes without scuffing.

Jacob Z. ★★★★★

Swapped my old rawhide mallet for this Teflon one and the difference on annealed copper is obvious—no more dents to sand out. The domed pear head gives a nice controlled strike for repoussé, and the 12.7 cm size feels right in my hand.
