Thor 214 Copper/Hide Hammer Size 3 44mm 1600g

The Thor 214 Copper/Hide Hammer Size 3 44mm 1600g is a specialized striking tool crafted for environments where surface integrity and workplace safety are non-negotiable. Engineered by Thor Hammer, a leading name in soft-faced striking tools, this Size 3 model combines two contrasting face materials within a heavy malleable iron head, allowing mechanics, engineers, and fabricators to tackle a wide variety of assembly, maintenance, and alignment tasks using a single tool.

The primary advantage of the Thor 214 lies in its dual-face construction. On one side, the high-purity copper face provides a solid, weight-backed strike necessary for driving steel components, setting bearings, or loosening stubborn machinery parts. Unlike steel-on-steel contact, the softer copper face deforms slightly under high load rather than shattering or damaging the work piece, virtually eliminating the risk of destructive sparks in sensitive assembly environments.

On the opposing side, the raw hide face delivers a firm yet shock-absorbing impact ideal for softer metals, painted surfaces, and finished machine components. Made from compressed animal hide, this striking face yields slightly under load, preventing denting, scratching, or distortion of delicate parts while deadening vibration to reduce operator fatigue during repetitive workshop tasks.

Weighing 1600g and fitted with a 44mm face diameter, this size 3 hammer provides substantial kinetic energy for heavier industrial jobs without sacrificing tool balance or operator control. Fitted with a traditional, high-grade wooden handle shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, the hammer ensures secure handling even when working in oily or challenging shop conditions. Whether you are performing automotive gear repair, heavy machinery maintenance, or precision sheet metal alignment, the Thor 214 Copper/Hide Hammer delivers reliable performance, extended tool longevity, and uncompromising protection for your valuable equipment.
