I wondered if this works for jewelry making-- sizing ring on mandrel. How wide is head? Does hammer really weigh 1 lb? (yipes) Thx.

The heads have a diameter of 30mm. I don't have a scale, but the hammer feels about a pound.

The head is 35mm which will probably make it too big for jewelry making. It does weigh a lb. It is not bad too handle.

Heavy duty? It`s not a full size heavy duty, bolt to a garage bench vise. You won`t be able to beat on it with a large hammer. It`s just a friction screw mount, as you can see. I bought it to be a third hand. I mount things in it so I have my 2 hands free to work on something.

I have bought a few of these for my wife, and I've never heard of different ring sizes. As for durability, she has worn them just a couple of times, but it is metal and she says it might last.

Absolutely not! This is strictly meant for small jewelry projects! I'd check your local hardware store!

It can weigh jewelry provided that it does not exceed 200 grams. The same goes for packages. The max weight it can handle is 200 grams.

Yep it's 11". About the same as a normal hammer. It is light and I llike it. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately I am not using it for jewelry weighing. I actually got it for small amounts of fertilizers for my planted fish tank. It works for my purposes but don't know about others.

Oh I see. The width is 1/8th of an inch. It may matter if you are measuring for wide or narrow rings. I am not a jeweler but I bought that to measure my and my wife's ring fingers and not for commercial purposes. I am not a jeweler, sorry but the width may matter. So if you want to measure for narrower rings, you may need another set with narrow width :). Good luck.

The hammer is 9" long. Although it does not say, from the weight of it I would guess it is Stainless Steel.

It can go pretty small. It cannot however turn a circle smaller than the diameter of its own rollers. Also, the rollers have a crosshatched surface, and they bite into the surface of the material being turned. There is a substantial groove in each roller - about 1/4" wide by 1/8" deep ( although I haven't measured it ). The inside surface of this groove is smooth. I think this tool is mostly for ornamental iron applications. I'm using it to curve steel strap that is 1" wide by 1/8" thick, and for that it works pretty well.

Derek, I didn't know so read the description under Foredom Hammer Hand Piece which gave me this "Close bezels and heavy prongs, set stones in channels and create unique textures with this handpiece". So it's a jeweler's jackhammer.

I have this. I can't find it because it's useless. It's too small, not ergonomic at all, and the tools are really useless. So whoever made it did a great job of fooling me into buying something that looks real nice in a picture. It's also unusually small and very awkward to use. Buy a decent small hammer and a good multi tool, you'll save a bunch and have something useful.

To be honest I think it will bee too close for comfort. From collar to the end of the threads is, about a foot or more alone. Meaning it has more room for weights than any buyer expects in my opinion. From collar to collar (the center) is the exact length of almost every stainless easy curl bar (not long) I can barely get a wide grip on it. (I'm 5'11"). If I were you I would not buy this for a bench man. Don't do it. Get it if you need a straight bar strictly for curls and french presses. With the outsides of my hands touching the weights I get a halfway decent overhead press but I say that because I do mine just alittle outside of shoulder width. Don't bench with it man. DONT!! Sorry I don't have a measuring tape but I feel u need the info. *WeTryYouWin*

It says in the product description that it is 1.9 lbs, but to me it feels a bit lighter than a 16 oz hammer. It's not heavy like on of the bigger back massagers; I don't think your mom will have a problem with that. The head broke free from the stem after I used it the first couple times; it was still usable when I popped it back in and taped it. If she won't be applying a lot of pressure at an angle though, this might not be a big issue for you (I press hard).

I can tell you the item you are asking about does work, but the handle which is made of complete cheap plastic will eventually break on you. Getting it replaced even under the warranty time is impossible. They refuse to answer emails or take calls. I ended up fixing it my self, and Amazon refunded a big part of the total price. This will find metal, but it is as low grade as you can get. I ended up giving it to my brother and bought the garret Ace 150, and it was 10 times better. As in will it work yes I found a 1500 dollar ring, and a lot of gold pendants as well as silver coins. I cant tell you how much change I had found with it. I would say 100's of dollars.

This is a very nice little hammer that I use for putting roll pins in AR15 rifles and with projects I use my dermal tool on. It works well for that, the 5 heads makes it good for other small projects without chances of putting dings on your project. That being said I don't know much about metal stamping but hopefully what I use it for will help you.
