Die-Making Hammers for Steel Rules Installation Model: AL-220
Compared to commonly used PC material cylinders, this hammer is also designed for use in die-making industry. Due to some special features, it is also favored by some die-makers.
- This hammer adopts a split combination design, and the PC material cylinders at both ends can be replaced if they are worn.
- The middle part is made of stainless steel, which does not rust and adds weight to the hammer. This weight giving it better impact force for steel rule installing.
- Compared with a single PC cylinder structure, this hammer design better protects the safety of the tool operator because the striking surface and handle of the hammer are cross-shaped.
- Due to its lightweight design, we recommend you purchasing it for use with relatively thin and short steel rules, such as 0.45 × 8 mm and 0.71 × 23.8 mm,etc.

Die-Making Manual Tools
Why is the steel rule installing hammer so important for die-makers?
The steel rule installing hammer is a core manual tool in die-making industry that ensures wood dies’ precision, and quality. Its specially designed hammer head (typically featuring a flexible/high-friction striking surface) and cross-designed handle effectively prevent fatal slippage during striking, protecting both steel rule and installing operator safety. While providing controlled, vertical impact force to ensure that the blade is accurately, completely, and consistently embedded into the knife slot of the wooden base material. Selecting the appropriate hammer weight based on steel rule characteristics(thickness and height) is key to efficient steel rule installation. Although it is not a high-tech device, it is indispensable in the die-making industry.
