This size 2 Thor hammer is a general-purpose, soft-faced hammer for automotive and general engineering applications in assembly, repair and maintenance operations. The malleable iron head is fitted with one rawhide and one copper face on a polished wooden handle. It is ideal for use where a heavy blow is required in a relatively small striking area. One face is made from pure copper, the other from highly compressed buffalo rawhide and are both designed to wear and be replaced--spare faces are available.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.
