Thor 212 Copper/Hide Hammer Size 2 38mm 1070g

When heavy mechanical assembly or maintenance requires high force without the risk of surface deformation, standard steel hammers can cause costly cosmetic and structural damage. The Thor 212 Copper/Hide Hammer Size 2 provides a balanced solution, combining substantial strike weight with non-damaging contact surfaces. Engineered around a durable malleable iron body casting, this tool weighs 1070g (approximately 2.35 lbs), delivering the momentum required to move tight components without marring the finish of your workpiece.

The primary advantage of the Thor 212 model lies in its dual-face configuration. One end features a solid, pure copper face, which offers a soft yet firm impact surface. Copper is softer than steel and cast iron, allowing it to absorb a portion of the strike force and conform slightly to the contact surface. This prevents sparking, chipping, cracking, or severe indentations on critical metallic components like shafts, gears, bearings, and heavy machinery housings.

Opposite the copper striking point is a compressed, raw hide face. Designed for applications where even softer contact is necessary, the hide face absorbs high shock loads while protecting fragile materials, painted coatings, and soft metal alloys. This makes the mallet ideal for delicate machinery adjustment, automotive work, mold making, and toolroom applications where surface integrity must be preserved.

With a striking face diameter of 38mm (1.5 inches), the Size 2 hammer hits a ideal balance between focused precision and broad surface contact. Designed with utility in mind, the wearable faces are fully replaceable, ensuring that once the copper or hide becomes worn down through continuous trade use, you can simply install new faces rather than replacing the entire tool. Paired with a sturdy wooden handle designed to absorb residual recoil, the Thor 212 Copper/Hide Hammer offers exceptional control, durability, and safety for demanding workshop environments.
