Thor Classic Copper & Hide Hammer 50 mm Fibreglass Handle

Thor Classic Copper & Hide Hammer 50 mm is a dual-faced hammer with a fibreglass handle, designed for professional use where controlled striking is required. Its 50 mm head combines a copper striking face with a hide face, giving users a choice of firm or softer strikes.

Overview

One face of the head is made from 99.99% pure electrolytic copper, which delivers firm, high-impact strikes. Copper is non-sparking, making it suitable for high-risk environments where steel-on-steel contact is dangerous, such as aerospace, rail, and petrochemical settings. The opposite face is made from compressed water buffalo hide. It provides softer, controlled blows, absorbs recoil, and dampens sound, helping to keep delicate surfaces and finished work unmarked.

Construction & Handle

The head is made from cast iron and mounted on a lightweight fibreglass handle. The handle absorbs shock and reduces vibration transmitted to the user's arm, which can help reduce strain during extended periods of use. The overall dimensions are 6.9 (width), 14 (depth) and 39 (height), and the hammer weighs 2505 g.

Key Features

• Dual-faced head: copper and hide faces for a complete range of tasks
• Non-sparking copper face: suitable for volatile atmospheres
• Hide face: suited to restoration, delicate assembly, and work on polished metals or finished wood
• Shock-absorbing handle: helps minimise strain and improve precision

Applications

The hammer is recommended for a wide range of professional industries, including aerospace manufacturing and rail. Its non-sparking copper face also suits petrochemical settings and other high-risk environments.
