This size 2 Thor super plastic hammer has a malleable iron head fitted with cylindrical ultra-high molecular weight polythene faces that are designed to wear and be replaced. The ultra-high molecular weight polythene heads provide high impact, durability and high abrasive resistance. The faces will not fracture, splinter or delaminate. It is ideal for use as a general-purpose, soft-faced hammer in engineering applications for assembly, repair and maintenance operations as an alternative to a rawhide faced hammer.Thor Hammer are manufacturers of soft-faced hammers and mallets. Over 50 years" specialisation in this area enables them to provide a non-damaging striking solution for any problem where a hand tool is required. Made in England to high quality standards, their soft-faced hammers provide a safer alternative to striking with conventional steel hammers. The resilient soft striking faces shape themselves to the part being struck. Acting as shock absorbers, they spread the force of the blow uniformly, minimising inefficient rebound and damage to components. Soft-faced hammers also reduce noise pollution in the workplace. With more than 150 different hammers and mallets available, Thor offer a wide range of products to suit all applications.
