Product Information
Full details
The Prym Rubber Hammer is an essential tool designed for craft enthusiasts and hobbyists who frequently work with rivets, eyelets, or press fasteners. Its primary benefit is the specialized hard rubber head that allows for forceful installation without leaving marks or damaging delicate, light-colored textiles. While it is perfect for precise hardware attachment on leather or fabric, users should note that it is a specialized tool intended for crafting and fastening rather than heavy-duty construction tasks.

FAQs
Will this hammer leave black marks on white fabric?
No, the head is made from light grey rubber specifically formulated to avoid leaving marks on textiles.
Can I use this for driving nails?
This tool is designed for crafting rivets and fasteners; using it for nails will quickly damage the rubber head.

Yes, the fiberglass handle is designed to be lightweight and provides a secure, comfortable grip for extended crafting sessions.
What is the primary use of this hammer?
It is intended for installing eyelets, press fasteners, and rivets without damaging the hardware or the fabric.
Does it require any maintenance?

Troubleshooting
The rubber head shows light indentations
This is normal wear for hard rubber; ensure you are striking flat surfaces and avoiding sharp metal burrs.
Fastener is not setting correctly
Verify that your setting tool (anvil/punch) is aligned correctly with the hammer impact point; a slight tilt can lead to uneven pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; the tool is ready for use immediately out of the packaging. It is fully compatible with all Prym rivet, eyelet, and snap-fastener setting tools. To care for your hammer, store it in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the rubber head. If the head becomes dusty, wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals on the rubber surface as they may cause it to degrade or become tacky over time. Ensure you strike perpendicular to your work surface to extend the lifespan of the tool's head.
