For jewellers and silversmiths needing a solid striking surface, this 4" x 4" steel bench block delivers the required resistance for clean work. Its hardened face ensures your hammer's force is transferred directly into the workpiece, not absorbed by the bench.

Key features

  • A solid, 4" × 4" hardened steel block provides a non-yielding work surface.
  • Sits on a solid wooden base designed to absorb vibration and reduce noise.
  • The wooden base raises the steel block to protect your benchtop from marking.
  • The top face has a smooth, non-polished finish suitable for a range of metalwork.
  • All our tools are UK-stocked and ready for immediate dispatch.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalworkers engaged in stamping, dapping, and riveting. Also favoured by craftspeople and hobbyists who require a durable, compact striking surface for their work.
