The malleable iron head provides the weight for the blow, and the hide faces absorb shock while transferring force to the item being struck without causing damage. These hammers are ideal for applications requiring a heavy blow combined with a relatively small striking area. The hide faces are designed to wear and can be easily replaced with spare faces. They are commonly used as general-purpose soft-faced hammers in engineering for assembly, repair, and maintenance. The No. 4 size hammer has a slip-on handle, while all other sizes feature the usual wedge-type handle.
