The Thor Copper / Hide Hammer is a specialized tool designed for automotive professionals, engineers, and technicians who require a controlled, heavy striking force without damaging delicate surfaces. By utilizing a durable malleable iron head paired with one pure copper face and one buffalo hide face, it provides the versatility needed for assembly and maintenance tasks. While it offers superior impact control, users should note that the replaceable faces are consumable components that will eventually require maintenance or replacement depending on the intensity of the workload.

Yes, spare copper and buffalo hide faces are available specifically for the Thor 5 range.
Buffalo hide offers a unique balance of toughness and shock absorption that is gentle on sensitive metal surfaces compared to synthetic plastics.
No, this is an engineering and automotive tool. Using it on stone or concrete will cause the hide and copper faces to fail rapidly.
The faces are designed to be unscrewed from the malleable iron head. If they are tight, use a strap wrench to gain leverage.
The handle is securely fitted to the head; for best results, we recommend replacing the entire unit if the wood structure is compromised.
Check if the face has worn down significantly or if the thread is stripped; replace the face if necessary.
Apply a small amount of linseed oil to the handle to nourish the wood and improve grip.
This is normal wear for buffalo hide; once the material loses its effectiveness, unscrew the face and install a replacement.
To ensure your hammer remains in top condition, perform a quick inspection of the striking faces before each use to check for excessive fraying or deformation. If the faces become uneven, they should be replaced to maintain strike accuracy. When storing the hammer, keep it in a dry environment to protect the wooden handle from moisture-induced expansion or contraction. Periodically wipe the iron head and handle with a light oil to prevent surface oxidation of the metal and drying of the wood.
