Thor 710 Nylon Hammer with Plastic Handle, 32mm Face Diameter, 445g (1lb) Weight

Thor 710 Nylon Hammer – Precision Tool for Glazing and Light‑Duty Tasks

The Thor 710 Nylon Hammer is a versatile mallet designed primarily for glazing work, window bead installation, and other light‑to‑moderate striking applications. Its construction balances durability with gentle impact, making it ideal for professionals who need to protect delicate surfaces while maintaining consistent force.

Key Features

• Face Diameter: 32 mm – a size that delivers sufficient surface area for accurate bead placement without excessive mass.
• Weight: 445 g (1 lb) – light enough to reduce fatigue during prolonged use yet heavy enough to provide controlled momentum.
• Nylon Face: Soft‑faced, engineered for minimal surface damage; the material resists cracking and retains shape over thousands of blows.
• Plastic Handle: Ergonomic PVC grip offers a secure hold while keeping the overall weight low. The handle’s design reduces vibration transmission to the user’s hand.
• Replaceable Face Options: Users can swap between soft and hard nylon faces depending on the task, extending the tool’s lifespan and versatility.

Design & Construction Details

The hammer’s head is cast from high‑strength nylon that has been heat‑treated to enhance impact resilience. The 32 mm face is precisely machined to ensure uniform contact with glazing beads, reducing the risk of misalignment. The plastic handle incorporates a textured surface for improved grip and includes a slight curvature that aligns naturally with the user’s wrist position.

Because the head material is non‑metallic, the hammer produces minimal noise and vibration, which is especially beneficial in residential or office environments where quiet operation is valued.

Applications

• Window Glazing: Ideal for setting glass beads into frames without scratching the glass or frame material.
• Light‑Duty Construction: Suitable for tapping small nails, securing trim, and other tasks that require a gentle yet firm strike.
• Craft & Hobby Projects: The soft face is perfect for working with delicate materials such as thin wood veneers or lightweight composites.

Maintenance Tips

1. Cleaning: After use, wipe the head and handle with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the nylon.
2. Face Replacement: When the face shows signs of wear or damage, replace it using the supplied replacement kit. This keeps performance consistent without needing a new hammer.
3. Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent plastic discoloration and nylon embrittlement.

Why Choose the Thor 710?

The combination of a lightweight design, soft‑faced impact surface, and ergonomic handle makes the Thor 710 Nylon Hammer an excellent choice for anyone who values precision and tool longevity. Its ability to switch between soft and hard faces adds flexibility that few other hammers offer in this weight class.

Conclusion

For glazing professionals, contractors, or hobbyists seeking a reliable mallet that delivers controlled force without compromising delicate surfaces, the Thor 710 Nylon Hammer stands out as a top-tier option. Its thoughtful engineering ensures consistent performance across a wide range of tasks while maintaining user comfort and tool durability.
