The Beadsmith Brass Ergo Hammer - Metal Elements - 5-inch ergonomic handle - 1LB weighted head with a 27mm Face - Ideal for metal stamping, jewelry making, wood & leather smithing DIY projects

A Brass Head Hammer or Mallet is an essential tool for tapping your stamp onto your metal blank. Brass mallets come in 2 sizes. The 1lb. mallet is lighter to lesson arm fatigue, where the 2lb. mallet packs a harder hit when needed. Double impressions vs clear impressions. Brass hammers and mallets evenly disperse the energy of the strike, preventing double impressions. Used Brass Hammer Brass is a softer metal than steel so it helps prevent stamps from becoming damaged.

• PROTECT YOUR TOOLS: Brass head mallets feature a heavy head that maximizes the efficiency of each blow and reduces bounce-back. This prevents arm fatigue and strain on your hand. Striking with a brass hammer prevents your metal from being thinned or marked by the face of the hammer and the soft brass head won't damage steel tools.
• GREAT FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS: This striking hammer is great for students learning metal working techniques and well as those who do frequent metalsmithing. The short, ergonomic handle was designed for comfort and better striking accuracy, while the 1 lb. weighted head performs a solid strike every time. The large, 27mm hammer face means you’re more likely to hit your target and not your hand!
• METALSMITHING TOOL: This dual headed brass hammer provides a flat and domed size, perfect for whatever the job requires. It is the perfect choice for dapping, chasing, hitting punches for creating discs, riveting, and light stamping. When used with stamping tools, the brass mallet prevents unwanted movement because it has less reverberation than steel hammers.
