Material & Construction Details

The core of the Thor 12R Rawhide Face is a dense, high‑tensile rawhide layer bonded to a lightweight yet sturdy backing. This combination provides:

• Impact Resistance: The rawhide absorbs shock, reducing fatigue on both the hammer and the user.
• Weight Optimization: Maintains the original mass of the hammer head, preserving its striking power.
• Heat Dissipation: Natural fibers allow heat to escape quickly, preventing overheating during prolonged use.

Installation Guide

1. Secure the hammer in a stable position and remove any existing face or protective cover.
2. Align the new rawhide face with the mounting points on the hammer head.
3. Press firmly until the face locks into place. A gentle tap may be required to ensure full engagement.
4. Check for smooth rotation and even contact across the entire surface before use.

Maintenance & Care Tips

• After heavy use, wipe the rawhide face with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as these can cause drying or cracking.
• If the face shows signs of wear, replace it promptly to maintain optimal shock absorption.
