Surface-Safe Striking for Assembly, Fitting & Precision Work

Delicate assemblies require more than just controlled force. When surfaces must remain intact, the striking material becomes the deciding factor. That is where White International – Thor Hammer rawhide faces deliver a clear advantage, allowing impact without marking or distortion across precision-driven tasks.

Built from compressed natural hide, White International – Thor Hammer rawhide faces are engineered to absorb shock, reduce rebound & distribute impact evenly, making them ideal for applications where maintaining surface integrity is critical.

Operating out of Somerville, Industrial Shed supplies these components Australia-wide to workshops, mechanical trades & fabrication teams that rely on repeatable, controlled striking. Unlike softer rubber alternatives or harder synthetic materials, rawhide offers a unique balance of firmness & compliance, delivering feedback through the strike while still protecting the workpiece.

Within structured trade environments, these components are used alongside Hand Tools, supporting precision assembly tasks performed within Commercial Construction & detailed workshop environments using Fabrication Tools & Workholding. Across active setups, components are moved using Material Handling Equipment, organised efficiently through Tool Storage & worked on across stable surfaces such as Workbenches, ensuring consistency in every strike.

Trade Applications for Rawhide Faces

Surface-sensitive work demands a striking material that applies force without leaving damage. Rawhide faces are specifically used where contact control, material protection & precise positioning are required.

► Bearing & component seating
‣ Positions bearings & housings without damaging edges or surfaces

► Machined surface alignment
‣ Adjusts precision components without marking finished faces

► Gear, shaft & mechanical assembly fitting
‣ Applies controlled force during installation without distortion

► Toolroom & engineering adjustment work
‣ Maintains tolerances during fine positioning tasks

► Panel alignment & finished surface correction
‣ Prevents dents or marks on coated or treated materials

► Maintenance & reassembly operations
‣ Supports accurate repositioning without surface degradation

In these applications, positioning is typically confirmed using Measuring & Layout Tools, ensuring accuracy before controlled impact is applied.
