Where this product is used

• Dual-purpose soft-faced hammer for the automotive trade (manufacturer-stated).
• General engineering and industrial applications (manufacturer-stated).

Features

• Malleable iron head with one copper face and one hide face (manufacturer-stated)
• Copper face with the malleable iron head 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.
