Thor TH212PH Copper/Rawhide Hammer, Size 2, 38mm Face, 1080g, Plastic Handle

The Thor TH212PH is a size 2 copper/rawhide hammer: a malleable iron head with a copper face at one end, a rawhide face at the other and a plastic handle (manufacturer-stated).

Faces are 38 mm across and the hammer weighs 1080 g (2.4 lb) and is 310 mm long, per the 2022 brochure. The wood-handle size 2, TH212, has the same 38 mm faces at 1070 g and is 305 mm long, and is in the Copper & Rawhide listing linked below.

Where this product is used

• Multi-purpose soft-faced hammer in engineering and automotive work for assembly, repair and maintenance (manufacturer-stated).
• Jobs that need a heavy blow over a relatively small striking area (manufacturer-stated).
• Copper end for a high-impact blow; rawhide end for a firm, resilient blow that will not mark the finished work (manufacturer-stated).

Features

• Malleable iron head with one copper face and one rawhide face, both cylindrical (manufacturer-stated)
• Copper face gives a high-impact blow; hide face gives a firm, resilient blow that will not mark the finished work (manufacturer-stated)
• Faces are designed to wear and can be replaced (manufacturer-stated)

Safety note

Thor warns that its soft-faced hammers should never, for example, be used as a non-sparking tool in hazardous areas (manufacturer-stated, Thor Product Range 2017). Do not treat a copper face as making this hammer suitable for hazardous areas.

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

This is the 38 mm copper/rawhide hammer with a plastic handle; TH212 gives the same faces on a wood handle at 1070 g. Compare the weights and lengths above if balance matters. The spare faces for this size are TH312C (copper) and TH12R (rawhide), which the brochure lists as suiting TH212, so confirm the fit for this plastic-handle model.
