Dual-Surface Bench Block with 97 mm Steel Anvil and Shock-Absorbing Rubber Base
This combination bench block offers two distinct surfaces in one compact tool. The primary face is a 97 mm square solid steel block, providing a durable, flat anvil for metal stamping, forming, and riveting.
Flip the block over to use the integrated rubber base as a work surface. This non-marring face is suitable for more delicate tasks, while the dense rubber construction effectively absorbs shock and dampens vibration, protecting your workbench and reducing noise. Its substantial 1.9 kg weight ensures it remains stable during hammering.
Use this block for flattening wire for jewellery, stamping designs into soft metal blanks, or forming small components for model engineering.
- Solid steel block measures 97 x 97 x 16.7 mm for a stable work surface.
- Reversible design offers a non-marring 109 mm square rubber face for delicate tasks.
- Dense rubber base absorbs shock, reducing vibration and noise on the workbench.
- Provides a total weight of 1.9 kg for excellent stability during use.
- Ideal for stamping, forming, flattening, and riveting soft metals and wire.
Is this the right tool for you?
Best for
- UK jewellers needing a stable surface for stamping and flattening precious metals.
- Model engineers performing riveting and forming on a compact, vibration-damped block.
- Crafters who need both a hard striking surface and a soft, non-marring one.
- Repair technicians needing a small, portable anvil for benchtop work.
Not for
- Heavy-duty blacksmithing or forging — this is a benchtop tool.
- Use as a cutting surface, which will damage the steel and rubber faces.
- Applications requiring a surface certified to engineering tolerances.
How this compares
| Dual-Surface Bench Block with... | Alternatives | |
