Thor 314 Copper Hammer Size 3

Product Information

Traditional Copper Mallet – This classic option is made entirely of copper, and is a great choice for any metalworking project.

Mallets are usually made from rubber or wood, making it great for finishing a product as it won't leave any marks on the surface. Using these softer materials as the striking face it will provide a softer impact compared to steel. They are used in applications where a steel hammer is too hard, for example laying tiles where a force is needed, but a softer strike to ensure the tile doesn't break. Types of MalletsMallets are used in various industries, such as upholstery work, and a variety of other general purposes. It is a tool of preference for wood workers using chisels with plastic, metal, or wooden handles, as they give a softened strike with a positive drive. Split head mallets have removable faces which can be changed to an appropriate material for the job. Rawhide - A type of leather that has not been exposed to tanning, primarily used to cover the face of rawhide mallets because of its softness.

You might think that a hammer is just a hammer but in fact there are many different types of hammer out there each with it’s own specific job. You might also think that there are all the same parts of a hammer but again these can differ depending on the type of hammer.A quality tool that meets your needs can achieve professional-level results and protect your materials from damage. This design provides an excellent grip and control, making it an ideal tool for precision metalwork. Carver's mallets feature heads where the axis of rotation is in line with the handle (so the hitting surface is always round) in a shape like a cylinder on its end, or a conical frustum, or half of a capsule (see images of "stonemason's mallets" to the right). The round striking surface is designed to drive a chisel or wedge and allows for a face to strike when swinging from any angle. [9] Meat mallets tenderise or flatten meat. Made from wood or metal, they are typically two-sided, one flat or with slight bumps, and the other with more pronounced protrusions.

Oil & Gas industry: Conducting operations with anti-sparking tools is essential to prevent fires/explosions.An illustration of the mallet can be found in Charles F. Mitchell's Building Construction, 11th edition, printed in 1930 by B.T. Batford, Ltd. Hammer Source hammers bigger than 5 lbs, those that are 6 to 24 lbs. are higher copper content- in the 96-98% range. Other metals are added to copper to facilitate the casting process. By using a copper hammer, one can apply force to objects without damaging them. It is typically made of 99% Copper, brass, or lead, making it softer than steel. This allows it to deform instead of the object it is hitting. Copper hammers are most commonly used in machinery. This is a metal working hammer, used to smooth out hammered metal which still has the hammer marks on it from forming the shape. They usually also feature a long wooden handle, although some may feature other materials such as fibreglass. They are often used in industries involving woodworking or upholstery as they deliver a softer strike force more suited to the materials that tend to be used in such applications.
