For silversmiths tackling heavy forming, dapping, and planishing, this 2lb brass mallet delivers the necessary mass for efficient work. The substantial head weight moves metal with authority, reducing the number of blows required to shape larger pieces at the bench.

Key features

  • Solid 2lb brass head provides significant mass for forming metal with fewer strikes.
  • Twin flat striking faces are suitable for dapping, planishing, and general shaping work.
  • Brass construction ensures it will not mark or damage softer precious metals during use.
  • Rigid steel handle delivers maximum power transfer from your arm to the workpiece.
  • Features a textured, octagonal grip for secure handling and rotational control.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths who regularly work on larger pieces or with heavier gauge sheet and wire. It is particularly suited for those specialising in raising, forming, and planishing hollowware or sculptural jewellery.
