Review on The Beadsmith Two-Sided Planishing Hammer - 9 Inches Wooden Handle, 80mm Steel Head with 23mm Faces - Essential Tool for Metalsmiths: Adds Shape and Smooths Metal Surfaces by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality

Both sides of the hammer were pitted. So it's useless! When you polish silver with a gouge hammer, gouges will transfer to your metal and leave marks on the surface. The grip was also loose. I got it back on credit and bought a nice flat hammer at a jewelry store, which reminded me once again that you get what you pay for!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
