The Thor Copper / Hide Hammer is a professional-grade striking tool engineered for automotive technicians and general engineers who need to apply high-impact force without marring delicate components. It offers the dual benefit of a hard copper face for heavy-duty metal work and a softer buffalo hide face for sensitive surfaces, though users should note that the wooden handle requires occasional inspection to maintain a secure head fitment.

Yes, the faces are designed to be replaceable. You can remove the old face and press in a new one when the original becomes too worn.
The buffalo hide face is specifically designed to be safe on softer metals like aluminum, preventing marring or deformation.
The copper face provides a high-density, soft-metal surface that delivers a heavy blow to metal components without the risk of steel-on-steel sparking or damage.
Store it in a cool, dry place. Excessive moisture can cause the wooden handle to swell or rot, while extreme dryness can cause it to shrink.
Yes, replacement handles are available. You will need to remove the remaining wood from the head and re-wedge it securely.
Check the wedge at the top of the handle and tap the base of the handle on a solid floor to tighten the fit.
Replace the copper or hide face insert with a new unit from Thor.
Lightly sand the handle with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a thin coat of linseed oil to preserve the wood.
Before your first use, ensure the head is seated firmly on the wooden handle. If the head feels loose, tap the bottom of the handle on a solid surface to drive the wedge deeper. To clean, wipe the head with a dry cloth and store in a low-humidity environment to prevent the wood from drying out or rotting. When the faces become concave or heavily damaged, unscrew or tap out the old face and press in a genuine Thor replacement. Never use the side of the iron head to strike objects, as this can cause the metal to chip.
