Thor rawhide hammers have malleable Iron head fitted with two cylindrical faces of compressed buffalo Rawhide on a wooden shaft. The malleable Iron head provides the weight for the blow & the Rawhide faces absorb the shock whilst transferring the force to the item being struck without fear of damage. Ideal where a heavy blow is required combined with a relatively small striking area. These Rawhide hammers have faces that are designed to wear & can be easily replaced as spare faces are available. They are used as a general-purpose soft-faced hammer in engineering for assembly repair & maintenance. (No. 4 size hammer has a slip-on handle
- all other sizes have the usual wedge type handle fitted.)
