Thor TH10 Rawhide Hammer, Size 1, 32mm Face, 590g, Wood Handle

Thor rawhide hammers have a malleable iron head with a cylindrical compressed rawhide face at each end and a wood handle (manufacturer-stated).

This listing covers six sizes, from size A (TH08, 25 mm faces, 285 g) to size 5 (TH22, 70 mm faces, 3275 g), with lengths from 230 mm to 405 mm per the 2022 brochure. The iron head supplies the weight for the blow, and the rawhide faces absorb the shock while passing the force to the item being struck without fear of damage (manufacturer-stated).

Where this product is used

Features

• Iron head supplies the weight of the blow; rawhide faces absorb shock and pass the force on without fear of damage to the item struck (manufacturer-stated)
• Faces are designed to wear and can be replaced (manufacturer-stated)

Common specifications

Key specifications

Weights, face diameters and lengths are from the Thor Product Brochure 2022 (lengths as printed in its Length column).

Selecting the right option

Choose the face diameter first, because it sets how much of the part the hammer covers: 25 mm (size A), 32 mm (1), 38 mm (2), 44 mm (3), 50 mm (4) or 70 mm (5). Then check the weight: 285 g up to 3275 g. Rawhide faces wear and can be replaced, so order spare faces in the matching size. Size 4 is also made with a fibreglass handle (TH16FG, linked below) at a heavier 2085 g.
