Hammers made to pattern

Hammers can be made by Norbert Abel to your patterns if none of the hammers below are suitable/ We need the first and the last hammers of each section as patterns.

Hammer Recovering

We operate a first class hammer recovering service for customers who prefer recovering to fitting new heads. Top quality materials and highly skilled labour ensure that the highest standards are maintained.
