Brass Alloy: Should always be used in the place of steel hammers in any metalworking application.
It is the most durable material we offer and should be used on surfaces that can withstand marring or on surfaces that will require further machining.
Bronze Alloy: Slightly softer than our brass hammers and should be used in applications that require non-sparking implements.
Bronze hammers should be used on surfaces that can withstand marring or will require further machining.
Pure Copper: Have a better protective ability than brass hammers.
Copper hammers can be used on softer steels and also provide good wear characteristics and are an excellent choice for most non-critical machining applications.
Lead Alloy: American Hammers most versatile striking tool.
All applications considered are for the purpose of moving material without damaging the striking surface.
From straightening drive shafts to assembling gear boxes, no man-made material can replace the dead blow characteristics of lead hammers.
Zinc Alloy: Should be used where copper hammers would not be the ideal solution and in applications that lead hammers would be too soft.
Use our zinc hammers with confidence on low carbon steels, cast iron, aluminum plate and other soft metals.
