Beading Tools for Wire Work

Chasing Hammer

Chasing hammers have a large face for striking chasing tools, or for flattening wire. The rounded side is used to add texture to flattened wire or metal. The forged head is wedge-mounted on a hardwood handle. The total length of this well made hammer is about 11".

Nylon Hammer

Our Greman-made hammer has a seasoned ash handle with a drop forged head and two durable nylon faces. The faces measure about 22mm, and the hammer is about 11" long. This tool is ideal for using with coated wires - the nylon face is gentle and won't scratch the finish.

Bench Block with Steel & Nylon Blocks

This three piece set includes a thick vulcanized firm rubber base which absorbs shock (and sound), plus two blocks designed to perfectly nest in the rubber base. Both blocks measure about 3" in diameter, and nearly 1" thick. The stainless steel block is ideal for flattening wire, and other wire working techniques. The nylon block is ideal for work with coated wires - pair it with the nylon hammer to work harden components without scratching the finish.

This is a well made set, and the cleverly interchangable blocks save money and space. The steel block comes lightly oiled to prevent rust in storage. Give it a good scrub when you unpack it, before you set it down somewhere.
