• RAWHIDE HAMMER •The rawhide hammer is a practical jewellery and metalworking hammer designed for forming, shaping, adjusting, and light striking tasks where a softer, non-marring hammer face is preferred. Featuring a rawhide head with a timber handle, it provides controlled impact while helping reduce surface marking compared with steel hammers. Ideal for jewellers, students, hobbyists, and workshop setups requiring a gentle striking tool for forming and bench work. • KEY POINTS •[Rawhide hammer for light forming and shaping][Head size: 37.5mm dia. x 76mm L][Total length: 280mm][Rawhide head with timber handle] • MORE INFO •Designed for controlled forming and adjustment work, this rawhide hammer is useful for shaping jewellery components without the direct impact of a metal hammer face. The rawhide head provides a firm but forgiving striking surface, making it suitable for use with mandrels, forming tools, sheet metal, wire, rings, bracelets, and components requiring careful adjustment. The timber handle provides comfortable control during repeated bench use, while the rawhide head helps reduce unwanted dents and marks on softer metals. This makes the hammer a practical everyday tool for jewellery making, forming, fitting, assembly, and general workshop tasks where controlled impact and surface protection are important. • MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS •[Product type: rawhide hammer][Head size: 37.5mm dia. x 76mm L][Total length: 280mm][Head material: rawhide][Handle material: timber / wood][Profile: cylindrical rawhide hammer head with fitted handle][Use: light forming, shaping, adjusting, assembling, and bench work][Suitable materials: gold, silver, brass, copper, aluminium, leather, plastic, and other jewellery-making materials] • USAGE & APPLICATIONS •Perfect for jewellers, students, hobbyists, and small workshops requiring a softer striking tool for controlled forming and adjustment work. Use the rawhide hammer with mandrels, forming blocks, stakes, or suitable support tools to shape metal gradually without using a steel hammer face directly. This rawhide hammer is ideal for forming wire and sheet, adjusting rings or bracelets on mandrels, seating components, light assembly, and general bench tasks where reduced surface marking is important. It is best suited to light to medium jewellery-making work rather than heavy forging or high-impact forming. • CARE & SAFETY •Use controlled strikes and avoid excessive force that may damage the hammer head, handle, or workpiece. Keep the rawhide head clean and dry to reduce transfer marks onto metal surfaces, and inspect the handle regularly to ensure it remains secure. Store dry when not in use. Eye protection is recommended when hammering, forming, or working with small metal components.
