Metalshapers
know that wood slappers of various shapes, although a seemingly simple
tool, quickly become a valuable asset in any metal shop. Preferably
made from top-quality hard wood, our signature slappers are made to
our specs from grade A hard maple for strength and durability.
Why do I need a wood slapper when I have so many great hammers?
Unlike a hammer or a mallet, a wood slapper has the added benefit
of a offering a variety of curved surfaces for forming the desired curve
in the metal being worked. Wood slappers are particularly helpful for
stretching large areas of metal and for shaping gradual curves. And,
almost without exception, wood slappers are required for large metal
shaping projects such as hoods, door skins, trunk lids and the like.
Which shape to I need?
Generally speaking, if you're setting up shop we suggest selecting
at least 3 shapes to provide the versatility you will undoubtedly need.
However, if your budget only allows for the purchase of one slapper
choose the flat.
Available in 4 different shapes:
Flat, Gentle, Curved and Round.
Features Include:
Rounded handle and grip area are designed with comfort in mind to provide
the hand and wrist a relaxed working position combined with a sturdy
grasp.
A
long-term tool investment! Our wood slappers are custom designed for
professional results. Additionally, they are sealed with protective
oil to resist stains and guard against moisture.
Flat, Gentle and Curved slappers include a generous, 1/8"
thick, leather face cover to protect your work and eliminate marring
of the metal. Keep in mind, leather faces are a necessity when working
with aluminum. Steel can be worked (slapped) with bare wood without
fear of marking the metal.
