Plastic Handle Harmmers

Forge wire stock, set solid rivets, true ring blanks, and execute directional metal forming with high-leverage striking power. The Cross-Peen Goldsmith & Riveting Hammer pairs a drop-forged high-carbon steel head with an ergonomic, shock-dampening fiberglass and composite handle. Built for daily bench work in goldsmithing studios, jewelry manufacturing, and general hardware craft, it features a dual-action head architecture: a flat cylindrical round face for solid planar flattening and truing, combined with a tapered wedge-shaped cross-peen (chisel end) for directional metal stretching and opening tight seams. Available in three calibrated face sizes—14 mm Small, 18 mm Medium, and 25 mm Large—this 500 g class tool combines traditional metalsmithing utility with modern, non-slip synthetic handle durability.

Why Choose the Cross-Peen Composite Handle Goldsmith Hammer

• Dual-End Forging & Riveting Geometry:

  • Flat Cylindrical Striking Face: Delivers concentrated, planar energy to level wire coils, flatten sheet metal, true ring bands over steel mandrels, and drive punches cleanly without bounce.

  • Tapered Wedge Cross-Peen (Chisel Face): Concentrates striking force along a narrow line, allowing metalsmiths to draw out wire lengthways, spread ingots directionally, and mushroom solid rivets securely.

• Drop-Forged High-Carbon Steel Head: Hardened and tempered striking faces resist denting, chipping, and mushrooming under continuous heavy bench use.

• High-Impact Shock-Absorbing Fiberglass Core: The resilient composite inner core absorbs striking shock significantly better than traditional wood, preventing high-frequency vibration from transferring to the wrist and elbow.

• Textured Non-Slip Ergonomic Grip: High-contrast orange-and-black dual-injection handle features molded finger grooves, surface stippling, and a flared butt to prevent slipping during rapid swinging.

• Epoxy-Bonded Head Assembly: Head is mechanically locked to the shaft with high-strength structural epoxy, eliminating loose heads, wobbling, or flying hazards common with drying wood handles.

• 3 Workshop-Calibrated Face Diameters:

  • 14 mm (Small): Agile control for delicate jewelry assembly, small wire forging, and petite rivet setting.

  • 18 mm (Medium): The standard bench goldsmith size for ring sizing, band truing, and light plate forming.

  • 25 mm (Large): Heavy-duty mass for flattening thick wire, compressing ingots, and general metal fabrication.
