English term or phrase: moulding hammer

Bonsoir, je traduis un document sur les outils d'une marque connue. Quelqu'un connaît-il l'équivalent de l'expression ci-dessus ?

For example when we discovered the need for an electrical and moulding hammer and launched a new product that immediately became a success.

Est-ce un marteau à mouler ?

Merci pour votre aide.

marteau de forgeron

Explanation:
"Au Moyen Âge, le forgeron utilisait le plus souvent une enclume et un marteau pour façonner des morceaux de bronze, de cuivre ou d'argent, après les avoir portés à incandescence dans des fours hautement réfractaires. On appelle forge l'atelier du forgeron, et forgeage son activité."

Example sentence(s):

"And with that I took the small moulding hammer in hand — one indeed which I knew very well, and getting the colour of the metal right to my mind, I held it ready for the striker on the beak of the anvil."
