This Beadsmith plastic-rubber hammer is the perfect size for all kinds of projects. It is easy to use and I dont stress about damaging anything with the softness of the plastic rubber options. If you are working with leather or jewelry then this is the perfect hammer option for you. I highly recommend this hammer for anyone looking at getting one.

This has been fun and easy to use. It has given me the freedom to create what every metal words I want in my art or scrapbook projects. It is light so anyone will be able to use this tool with ease. I does the job it needs to do. This is a great tool to add to your supplies if you like to make a variety of projects and like to set no limits on your creativity.

It was already wobbly on the handle when it areibed but hey...foe the price u can glue it. The head is amazing & perfect for jewelry. It is loose but hasn't broken or fallen off & i have used it for a couple days now. I recommend just b/c for the price u could literally work with it. Even if u need to repair it...it wouldn't b hard.

This hammer works as described. Well crafted, have used several times without any issues. The hammer is well made, a good size handle, and quite sturdy. I like the look of the craft hammer as well as the price.

Item as described

I bought this for working with wire. I am new at wire working (so please take this review from a beginner's perspective). I also bought a much heavier metal hammer and I like the metal one a lot more. This one is OK for some things, though. It will get used occasionally. Mine was in fine shape. The head was on evenly, the handle looked nice and wasn't loose, and I did not damage this taking it out of the packaging. So mine was not particularly fragile (since I wasn't super careful about handling it). And it was decently made. Though do beware, because there seem to be some quality control issues here based on what else I have read. Plus, I wouldn't say the materials from which it was constructed were the highest quality (but they were serviceable). I guess I was just lucky that the one I received was OK. This does not damage the surface of the metal, which is nice. (I'm pretty much limiting myself to color-coated copper like Artistic Wire and plain -- dead soft -- copper wire.) This hammer doesn't flatten the wire like the metal hammer does, but it also seems to take much longer to get results (in terms of work hardening). It is possible that there is something lacking in my technique (I am new at this, like I said above, and am teaching myself from books) but I will say that this is pretty lightweight and that also might have something to do with it (I don't have this issue with my metal hammer, but of course that also flattens the wire, which is not always something you want.). For what it's worth, this really doesn't damage the metal, and that is nice. Unlike a metal hammer, this is not noisy to use. I don't think this would be suitable for metal stamping, though. You just don't get enough force out of it to make an impression because it is so lightweight.

This is a pretty simple product, a small hammer, wooden handle, rubber on one end, plastic on the other. The only problem I had was, I used it to assemble an AR lower receiver and after repeated pounding of very small metal detent pins, the rubber and plastic began to deteriorate and chip away. This wasn't even a huge problem. If you are using this for jewelry, like it was designed, you will have no issues.

This also is a must have if you want to do a lot of metal work. There is one hard plastic side and one rubber side. I was afraid that the plastic would not be hard enough to effect the metal but it is tough enough for the 20 to 26 gauge copper I use for my jewelry. I use this too keep my metal from getting marred where I hammer the folds when I fold form metal. I want the piece to look weathered but this lets me control exactly where the marks are formed.

Nice product!

Product as described. Works well.

Excelente martillo, ligero y eficiente

Exactly the right size and the density of the plastic and rubber is perfect for what I am using it for.

Good for metal or wire jewelry, does the job with a bit of patience... and patience is what you need.
