Description
Overview:
The Thor 216 Copper/Hide Hammer Size 4 (03-216) is a heavy-duty soft-faced hammer for engineers, mechanics and maintenance teams who need firm, accurate blows without damaging workpieces. It uses a tough malleable iron head fitted with two replaceable faces: one of pure copper for controlled force on stubborn parts, and one of highly compressed buffalo hide for gentler, non-marring strikes. A polished wooden handle provides a secure grip, and the slip-on design simplifies face and handle changes. With a 50 mm (approx 2 in) face diameter and an overall weight of 2380 g (approx 5 lb 4 oz), it delivers high impact in tight or delicate situations. Suitable for workshop, site and garage use on machinery set-up, automotive assembly and general engineering tasks.
Key Features:
- Dual replaceable faces: pure copper for heavy controlled blows; compressed hide for surface protection
- Malleable iron head for durability, impact resistance and long service life
- Non-marring action helps protect shafts, gears, hubs, pulleys and finished surfaces
- Size 4 head with 50 mm (approx 2 in) face diameter for concentrated striking in confined spaces
- Substantial mass: 2380 g (approx 5 lb 4 oz) delivers momentum with good control
- Polished wooden handle for a comfortable, secure grip during prolonged use
- Slip-on handle and face design for straightforward maintenance and face replacement
- Balanced feel for accurate blows and reduced risk of rebound damage
- Suitable for workshop, site and garage environments across multiple trades
Typical Applications:
Seating and removing bearings and bushings, aligning panels and brackets, adjusting machinery during installation, freeing seized components, setting joints without bruising, and general maintenance where a firm strike is needed without marking. Ideal for automotive assembly and repair, plant and MRO work, fabrication, and engineering set-ups on presses, vices, jigs and fixtures.
