Questions & Answers

I'm curious about the origins of this hammer. England?

Yes- It's known as a panel beating hammer in the auto body repair industry, and it's made in England. However, a great woodworker and teacher named Paul Sellers recommends it for use as a chisel mallet; I own one and use it frequently.

I'm curious as to what happened to this hammer, which I had in my cart for $16 and was suddenly priced higher. It was $95 on September 15, 2017, and it is now $29. why?

For the past month, my price has remained unchanged at $29, and on September 15, 2017, I sold several hammers at that price. 95 I'd lose money on every hammer I sold. You must have bought it from a different seller and added it to your cart. If you see it for sale at that price again, make sure the seller isn't brand new and has no feedback (a scammer who Amazon will soon delete) or is charging $15 or more in shipping. br>br>Please accept my apologies if the hammer is not as inexpensive as you had hoped.

Is there a place in America where you can buy replacement heads? Is there a brand of aftermarket that is compatible?

My two heads (on the hammer) have lasted a long time. I've seen substitutes offered, but I don't have a source I can provide you with at this time.

Thorex Mallet / Hammer - With the replaceable faces, this is a versatile, well-constructed mallet that can be used for a variety of purposes
5/5

5+ stars! When I first saw Paul Sellers recommend this mallet, it piqued my interest. I have several mallets in my collection - Brass, wood, and non-ferrous metals are just a few of the materials It doesn't matter if it's smearing, marring, or anything else I didn't have room in my shop for another mallet. But it was the number of replaceable faces, as well as the variety of sizes and configurations, that really stood out to me about this mallet. I chose the wooden-handled version, which has a hard white face on one side and a soft, non-scratchy side on the other. On the other hand, there's a blemishing grey face. In addition to the grey/white that came with the hammer, I purchased two additional replacement faces (yellow and red). It's worth noting that all of the faces are made of nylon or plastic and are extremely durable. br>br>Here is the information I found on Thorhammers for each replaceable face type / color. com:
- White - Nylon Hard - D 57- Shore Hardness D 57- Shore Hardness D 57- Shore Hardness 61 - For heavy and light assembly work, this is the best all-purpose face.
- Brown - Polyurethane is a tough material that can be used in a variety of applications. D (Shore Hardness) D (Shore Hardness) D (Shore 62 - Tough and resistant to abrasion. Cutting forms, steel rule die assembly, and striking sharp surfaces are all possible with this tool.
- Grey - PVC Soft - Shore Hardness is a 63-point scale that measures how hard something is on the surface. 731 - It won't leave a mark on your finished surfaces. Flat pack furniture assembly and woodworking are both great uses for this tool.
- Red - Hard Plastic in a Medium Hardness Shore Hardness D 45-45-45-45-45-45-45-45 55 - Light hammering and precision part assembly are better suited to this tool.
- Yellow - Excessively difficult – R103 is the Rockwell Hardness. Specialty applications require extra tough faces. Copper armatures are being installed. br>br>The yellow face is incredibly hard and durable, and it is practically indestructible. It can bang on metal surfaces without causing damage, and it's even tougher than the already super-tough a stern white face When the grey face becomes too soft, there is also a red face with a "medium" hardness. The following is a list of faces in order of hardness to softness: Brown, yellow, white, red, and gray are some of the colors that can be found. br>br>Handles are available in either nylon or plastic, as well as wood. Face diameters range from one inch to two and a half inches, with sizes increasing in 1/4 inch increments. I chose the 1 1/2" diameter hammer because one of my goals was to use it to drive chisels, and this size is ideal for that. Another reason for that size choice is that a 1 1/2" mallet is good for general purpose assembly / banging; I also chose the wooden handle because I prefer wooden handles to composite - I like the responsiveness of a wooden handle, even if it adds a little weight. "Old habits die hard" is a phrase that comes to mind: )br>br>NOTE: If you are looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "innovative" After finishing the review, I noticed that this hammer is marketed as a 650g (23 oz) hammer. When I was researching Thor hammers, I came across something interesting. Because of a variety of factors, the weights of the same size hammer can vary. including the material used for the handles The weight of my hammer is 20 pounds. 5 oz, and I bought it from Big Red Toolbox in the United Kingdom on Amazon. My hammer is identical to the one shown in this advertisement. I also purchased an identical one from Vaughan (who also sells Thor hammers bearing the Vaughan label), which weighed 24 oz. I returned the Vaughn model because the metal head was damaged, but keep in mind that your weights may vary, and try to cross-reference the model number with the Thor website, as weight was important to me. br>br>On the hammer I bought, it says, "Thorex 712 - 1 1/2 inch 38mm On the metal head, it says "Made in England. " The attached barcode label also reads "Thorex Retail Hammer 1 1/2 lb" and "31-" as model numbers. 712R. "However, my hammer does not weigh 1 1/2 pounds, equating to 24 ounces - My total weight is 20. 5 oz! Again - Check the Thorex website for a cross-reference and to make sure you're getting exactly what you want. This ad's title was in conflict with one source - The hammer is 1 1/4 pounds, not 1 1/2, as stated on the Thorex website. I've seen these hammers in similar 1 1/2" sizes with weights exceeding 26 oz, and some with weights less than 20 oz, so the title here may be incorrect for the particular hammer you receive. br>br>Note that I also have three Japanese steel faced mallets in sizes 13oz and 15oz - There are two Dogyu's with squared faces and one Daruma with a round face. I own both Japanese and Western chisels, and I've always used metal hammers on my Japanese chisels and wood or composite faces on my Western chisels. Because of the non-marring faces, the Thor is the only hammer/mallet that can drive ALL of my chisels. With the benefit of the yellow or white faces, my Japanese chisels can also use them! On Japanese chisels, soft-faced hammers typically absorb too much shock, but the Thor hammer's white and yellow faces transfer the majority of the force to the chisel's tip, with very little force lost in the mallet's face. The bottom line is that If I don't want to bang my Japanese chisels against the steel faces, I can use the Thor hammer instead. There are times when not having the louder steel banging is preferable, particularly during longer sessions. br>br>For western chisels, the process is similar - The white-faced Thor hammer is ideal for Western chisels as well, as it does not damage or crush wooden, non-metallic chisels. Handle of a chisel with a hooped design. The Thor hammer is the only mallet I feel comfortable banging on ALL of my chisel types, aside from the Estwing dual faced (yellow, red) mallet I own. Because of its balance and feel, I prefer the Thor to the Estwing. It simply feels better in the hand. br>br>However, the Thor hammer's versatility does not end there. I use it for a variety of other things as well - Disassembly / demolition, joint / tenon / dovetail coaxing, case / carcass assembly This hammer's replaceable faces can be used for a variety of tasks, from pounding metal surfaces to coaxing soft wood or plastic surfaces. Furthermore, the 20oz weight of this mallet is an excellent compromise - When more finesse is required, it provides enough weight and power for harder surfaces while remaining light enough for soft taps on a chisel. The list goes on and on - In conclusion, as you can see from the lengthy description, Despite my lengthy review, I am a big fan of the Thor hammer and how well it has performed in the shop. It has a permanent home on my bench, and I rarely take it down. It is called to duty in MANY situations because of the easily replaceable faces. I still use my steel Japanese mallets, as well as my larger soft-faced hammers and dead blows, when necessary. However, in my shop, this Thor hammer has logged the most minutes of use! br>br>Highly recommended if you want a multi-purpose, replaceable face hammer that is well-made and will last a long time! br>br>Thank you for taking the time to read this!.

Hammer with a chisel
5/5

I've recently returned to woodworking and have decided to forego the use of most, if not all, power tools. This is a great chisel hammer with a good weight and two sides to choose from: soft rubber for settling tenons or dovetails and hard plastic for hold downs. Love it. For those who are interested, I believe this is the same hammer used by Paul Sellers in his videos. It's not that it matters; it's simply a good hammer, far superior to anything I could find locally.

For woodwork, I use my favorite hammer
5/5

Someone suggested this for use with chisels on the internet, and I remember seeing it. I took the plunge and purchased one, and they are fantastic. The quality of the work is obvious, and the weight is ideal for my needs. It's nice to know I can replace the heads if necessary, but they've held up well so far. The hard rubber side is what I use for chisels, and it hasn't damaged the wood handles in the least. I frequently use the hard plastic side to lightly knock boards into place, and I also use it on my lathe's aluminum drift bar on occasion. If you're looking for a well-made, non-toxic product, this is the one to get. a hammer for scuffing.

This one came highly recommended by Paul Sellers
5/5

I'm a woodworker who uses hand tools, and I was looking for a new mallet. This one came highly recommended by Paul Sellers. It's been two years since I've used it and I love it. I don't want to get a new mallet because I like it so much. This is the third or fourth Paul Sellers' recommended tool that I've purchased. br>br>All of his suggestions are excellent tools in their own right. Another one is the Stanley knife he suggests. Before purchasing the one he recommended, I tried a number of different marking knives. I had a marking knife that cost ten times as much as the one he recommends, but it didn't feel as good in my hands.
