Stanley 56-003 Blacksmith Hammer 2 Lb Steel 14 in

Product Description

The STANLEY 56-003 is a 2-pound blacksmith hammer built for heavy striking work in metalworking, fabrication, and general trade applications. The head is constructed with a thermoplastic rubber grip over a steel handle, giving the user a secure hold during repeated blows. Overall length measures 14 inches. The face diameter is 1-5/8 inches, making it well suited for shaping and driving work at the anvil or on the bench. This hammer is a purpose-built hand tool typically used by blacksmiths, metalworkers, and skilled tradespeople who need consistent weight and balance in a compact striking tool.

The STANLEY 56-003 is used in metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and trade environments where a mid-weight striking tool is needed. The 2-pound head weight is a common choice for general blacksmithing tasks including drawing out, bending, and shaping hot or cold metal stock. The 14-inch overall length provides a moderate swing arc suitable for bench work and light forging. It is appropriate for both professional shop use and skilled trade maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

No power source is required for this hand tool. Inspect the handle and head connection before each use to confirm the head is firmly seated and shows no signs of loosening or cracking. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses and gloves when striking metal. Store in a dry location to prevent surface corrosion on the steel components.
