Unlike steel hammers that leave dents and flat spots, the rubber head distributes force evenly without marking the metal.

The walnut wood side has a slight amount of \"give\" – it's softer, which can be helpful when you don't want the metal to work-harden too quickly, or when you're working on a piece that already has texture.

It's great for: gently closing jump rings, tapping bezels into place, shaping ring bands on a mandrel (with light taps), flattening crimp beads, and even as a general purpose soft hammer for any task where a metal hammer would be too aggressive.
