Thor TH316FG Copper Hammer, Size 4, 50mm Face, 2920g, Fibreglass Handle

The Thor TH316FG is a size 4 copper-faced hammer: a malleable iron head with a copper face at each end and a fibreglass handle (manufacturer-stated).

Faces are 50 mm across and the hammer weighs 2920 g (6.4 lb) and is 405 mm long, per the 2022 brochure. The wood-handle size 4, TH316, has the same 50 mm faces at 2830 g and is 355 mm long, and is in the Copper Face listing linked below.

Where this product is used

• General-purpose soft-faced hammer in automotive and general engineering for assembly, repair and maintenance (manufacturer-stated).
• Jobs that need a heavy blow over a relatively small striking area (manufacturer-stated).
• Striking machined sub components and assemblies, where Thor says the copper faces prevent damage (manufacturer-stated).

Features

• Malleable iron head with cylindrical copper faces at both ends (manufacturer-stated)
• Iron head and copper faces together supply the weight of the blow; the copper faces prevent damage to expensive machined sub components and assemblies (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-faced hammer with a fibreglass handle; TH316 gives the same 50 mm faces on a wood handle at 2830 g. Copper faces wear and can be replaced. The 50 mm spare is TH316C, which the 2022 brochure lists as suiting TH316 and TH216, so confirm the fit for this fibreglass-handle model.
