Thor THO14 Hide Hammer

The Thor 14 Hide Hammer Size 3 (44mm) 1230g THO14 is a heavy-blow tool designed for applications requiring a strong strike with a small striking area. It features a malleable iron head paired with two cylindrical faces made of compressed buffalo hide, mounted on a wooden shaft. The hide faces absorb shock and transfer force to the workpiece while protecting delicate surfaces. This hammer is suitable for general-purpose use in engineering, assembly, repair, and maintenance, particularly where surface protection is essential. With a weight of 1230 g and a head diameter of 44 mm, it delivers substantial impact without over-penetrating the material. The faces are designed to wear and can be replaced as spare faces become available. Commonly used for tasks that benefit from a softer, quieter strike, it helps protect finished or semi-finished materials across various applications.

Usage

The Thor hide hammer is recommended for delicate tasks in environments where noise and surface protection matter, including furniture making, cabinet and joinery work, jewellery making, picture framing, and thin sheet metal shaping.
