Beadsmith Metal Elements Ergo Brass Hammer – 1lb

Create clear, controlled impressions when metal stamping with the Beadsmith Metal Elements Ergo Brass Hammer. Its substantial 1lb head delivers a solid strike, while the short ergonomic handle provides greater control and striking accuracy at the jewellery bench.
