The ultimate jewelry bench classic—engineered by the world-renowned tool masters at Durston, featuring a precision-hardened steel head with high-polish working surfaces paired with a beautiful, ergonomic Padauk wood handle. Executing fine metal forging, intricate bezel setting, or delicate detail leveling requires a highly specialized hammer that delivers pinpoint force without marring your work. While regular hardware hammers have bulky heads and coarse faces that easily smash details or leave deep scratches on precious metals, the Durston® Superior Goldsmith Hammer delivers a pristine, master-crafted finishing floor. Its precision-ground flat face and tapered cross-peen allow independent makers to smoothly move, form, and true gold, sterling silver, metal clay, and copper with meticulous, professional accuracy.
Key Benefits
-
Precision Ground & Polished Multi-Faces: Crafted from deeply hardened tool-grade steel featuring exceptionally clean, high-polish striking surfaces. The immaculate finish ensures that every single hammer stroke transfers uniform kinetic power without transferring unwanted micro-scratches, scale blemishes, or raw factory textures to your delicate jewelry designs.
-
Ergonomic Premium Padauk Wood Handle: Features an exquisitely finished, premium Padauk wood handle engineered for professional-grade shock dampening. The lightweight, contoured timber body naturally absorbs high-frequency impact vibrations before they reach your wrist, enabling comfortable, fatigue-free bench work during long studio sessions.
-
The Perfect Dual-Ended Goldsmith Profile: Outfitted with a highly versatile dual-head configuration—a slight domed/flat cylindrical face for general flattening and driving, and a crisp cross-peen for fine directional metal moving and riveting—saving you from constantly switching tools during multi-step projects.
-
Flawless Balance & Kinetic Trajectory: Perfectly balanced along the center geometric line, allowing the tool's natural weight distribution to do the hard work for you. This prevents off-center deflections during downward swings, ensuring your strikes land flat and true every time.
