Workshop Practice with a Soft-Faced Hammer

In a fabrication or carpentry shop, students fit glazing beads into a window frame section. Each bead is set in its groove and tapped along its length until it clips into place. The nylon face drives the bead without the dents a steel face would leave. The gap between the frame and the wall opening is then sealed with silicone from a Caulking Gun.

The same hammer serves in furniture and assembly work. Students bore the holes with the Dowel Drill Bit Set, glue in the dowels and tap the joint closed without marking the show face. Teachers can set it beside a Mallet Hammer and an Engineering Hammer to show how the face material changes the blow and the mark it leaves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a glazing hammer used for?
It taps glazing beads into place when a sealed glass unit is fitted into a uPVC window frame. The nylon faces give a firm blow without denting the bead. It also works as a general soft-faced hammer in engineering, furniture, shopfitting, partition work and the assembly of injection moulding dies.

Can the nylon faces be replaced?
Yes. The faces screw into the heads and are made to wear down in use. When one is worn or chipped, unscrew it by hand and fit a new face. The chrome plated zinc head stays in service.

How heavy is it, and how big is the face?
The hammer weighs 1 lb and each head is 32 mm in diameter. That is enough weight to clip a bead home with a few light taps while the hammer stays easy to control in a confined frame.

Why not use a steel hammer on window beads?
A steel face dents uPVC beads and leaves marks on the frame. A nylon face is far softer than steel, so the blow lands without leaving dents. Keep steel hammers for nails, punches and chisels.
