What it isA tool in its own right
Bench jobSetting up the bench

A watchmaker hammer needs two distinct strikes. We fit our 30417 with a brass end on one side and a synthetic nylon end on the other, mounted on a light handle for controlled bench work. When an insert shows burrs or wear, you unthread it and fit a fresh end.

The dual head

One side carries a brass striking face while the opposite end takes a synthetic nylon insert. You select the face to match the punch or stake you are tapping at the anvil.

Synthetic face

The synthetic end absorbs rebound when driving light pins or staking delicate components. It spreads the blow across the striking surface and unthreads easily when worn down by regular bench work.

Brass face

The brass insert provides solid contact against steel punches without the violent rebound of hardened steel on steel. The metal takes the wear so your staking tools stay true.

Replacing worn ends

Both faces thread directly into the head. Once a face is pitted or deformed from repeated strikes, you back it out and screw a fresh replacement end into the body.

Keeping the bench clean

Cleaning putty and what it lifts, why solvents are kept away from some surfaces, the point of a bench mat and a tray with a lip, cloths and brushes, and how tools are put away so the next job starts on a clear board.
