Thor TH216FG Copper/Rawhide Hammer, Size 4, 50mm Face, 2470g, Fibreglass Handle

The Thor TH216FG is a size 4 copper/rawhide hammer: a malleable iron head with a copper face at one end, a rawhide face at the other and a fibreglass handle (manufacturer-stated).

Faces are 50 mm across and the hammer weighs 2470 g (5.4 lb) and is 405 mm long, per the 2022 brochure. The wood-handle size 4, TH216, has the same 50 mm faces at 2380 g and is 355 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

Choose this for the size 4 copper/rawhide hammer with a fibreglass handle; TH216 gives the same 50 mm faces on a wood handle at 2380 g. Copper and rawhide faces both wear and can be replaced. The 50 mm spares are TH316C (copper) and TH16R (rawhide), which the 2022 brochure lists as suiting TH216, so confirm the fit for this fibreglass-handle model.
