This size 1 Thor copper hammer has a malleable iron head fitted with two cylindrical faces of pure electrolytic copper on a wooden shaft. The malleable iron head provides the weight for the blow and the copper faces also provide weight while transferring the force to the item being struck without fear of damage. It is ideal where a heavy blow is required combined with a relatively small striking area. These copper hammers have faces that are designed to wear and can be easily replaced as spare faces are available. It is used as a general-purpose soft-faced hammer in automotive and general engineering for assembly, repair and maintenance.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.
