Description

38mm Thor 412 Red Plastic Glazing Hammer

Professional Soft-Faced Hammer for Glazing, Assembly & Fitting Work

The 38mm Thor 412 Red Plastic Glazing Hammer is a professional soft-faced striking tool designed for applications where a firm, controlled blow is required without damaging or marking the workpiece. Particularly suited to double glazing and window installation, it is also a versatile choice for engineering, furniture assembly, shopfitting, partitioning and general fitting work.

Featuring 38mm replaceable plastic faces, the Thor 412 allows components to be tapped, positioned and adjusted with greater control than a conventional steel hammer. The plastic striking surfaces help minimise marking and surface damage, making the hammer particularly useful when working with finished components, glazing materials, frames and other surfaces where appearance is important.

The hammer's faces are specifically designed to wear during use and can be replaced easily by hand when required. Each face is manufactured as a one-piece moulding with no metal pegs or inserts, ensuring that no hidden metal components become exposed as the face wears and potentially damage the workpiece.

Proper Trade Quality Hammer

I've used various soft-faced hammers over the years and the Thor 412 is one of the best. The 38mm faces are a great size for assembly and fitting work, providing a firm controlled blow without the risk of a steel head damaging the workpiece. I particularly like that the faces are one-piece mouldings with no hidden metal inserts. Once they eventually wear down, you can simply replace them rather than buying another hammer. Brissco were great as usual. They carry a good range of professional tools, the team are helpful and my order was dealt with quickly. A quality Thor hammer backed up by reliable Brissco service.

Great for Window and Door Fitting

We've been using the Thor 412 for PVCu window and door fitting and it's quickly become one of our most-used hammers. The 38mm head provides plenty of impact when something needs persuading into position, but the plastic faces help avoid damaging or marking the frame. It feels well balanced and gives much better control than trying to use a steel hammer with something protecting the surface. The replaceable faces also mean it should give years of service.

Excellent Hammer for Glazing Work

Bought the 38mm Thor 412 for window and door installation work and it's an excellent bit of kit. The larger 38mm faces give a good solid strike while still allowing plenty of control when positioning frames and glazing components. The plastic faces are firm without marking finished surfaces, which makes it far more suitable than a conventional hammer for this type of work. Being able to replace the faces when they eventually wear is another big advantage.
