Do you need a special hammer for metal stamping?

Metal Stamping Tools A metal hammer with a flat face; I use a regular hardware-store hammer. A fairly heavy hammer that’s still comfortable for you to use can make your stampings turn out better. (Don’t use your rawhide or nylon jewelry hammers on jewelry stamps – they’ll get torn up quickly.)

What type of hammer is used for metal stamping?

brass hammers
Brass heads work great for striking metal stamps – in fact we recommend always using brass hammers to hit steel stamps. Since brass is a softer metal than steel, this helps prevent your stamps from being damaged. Steel heads come in several styles including chasing hammers and ball pein hammers.
