Description
Overview:
The Thor 208 Copper/Hide Hammer Size A is a soft-faced striking tool for workshop, site, and garage use on machinery and assemblies. It combines a pure copper face with a highly compressed buffalo hide face, mounted on a malleable iron head with a polished wooden handle for a controlled, comfortable grip. Size A has a 25 mm (1 inch) face diameter and a head weight of 400 g (14 oz), providing a firm blow in a confined striking area without the surface damage associated with steel hammers. Suitable for automotive and general engineering work, it is well suited to fitting, adjusting, and maintenance on metal components, housings, and fixtures where a precise, non-sparking and kinder impact is preferred. Model names: Thor 208 and Thor 03-208.
Key Features:
- Size A face diameter: 25 mm (1 inch) for accurate, localised strikes
