Durston Planishing Hammer

The Durston Planishing Hammer is a heavy-duty metal-forming tool designed to straighten, smooth, and flatten sheet metal during jewelry fabrication and repair. This bench-mounted press hammer combines a planishing block with a spring-loaded striker, allowing jewelers to achieve a smooth, uniform metal surface quickly and efficiently.

Planishing is a finishing technique where controlled hammer pressure is applied repeatedly to smooth and refine metal surfaces. This process removes imperfections left from rolling, forming, or soldering and helps produce a professional finish on jewelry components and sheet metal work.

Durston planishing tools are built with heavy cast-iron construction for stability and durability, and feature hardened steel platens designed to withstand repeated metalworking use.
