AWTools paving hammer with wooden handle 2.5 kg AW31762

The AWTools paving hammer with wooden handle 2.5 kg AW31762 is a hand tool designed for laying, adjusting and jointing paving stones, bricks and concrete blocks. The hammer features a 2.5 kg head combining a square face made from durable, abrasion-resistant vulcanised rubber and a drop-forged steel body. A robust wooden handle is screwed to the head to provide a stable grip and controlled impact during setting and trimming operations. The construction aims to deliver focused striking force while minimising surface damage to pavers and tiles.

Advantages

The vulcanised rubber square head reduces the risk of chipping and surface marking when aligning concrete paving blocks, slabs, kerbs and tiles. The drop-forged steel body increases strength at the striking point, while the screwed wooden handle ensures straightforward replacement if needed. The 2.5 kg head weight supplies sufficient impact for compacting and seating pavers without excessive rebound or uncontrolled strikes. Overall, the tool balances durability and controlled force for landscaping and hardscaping tasks.

• Setting and aligning concrete paving blocks and slabs

How to use

Hold the wooden handle with a firm two-handed grip and position the rubber-faced head against the paving element to be set. Apply measured strikes to seat and align the block or slab; use the rubber face to protect the visible surface from damage. For trimming or tighter adjustments, angle the hammer and deliver shorter, controlled blows. Inspect the screw connection periodically and tighten or replace the handle if any looseness is detected.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and work gloves. Store the hammer dry to preserve the wooden handle and avoid long-term exposure of the rubber head to direct sunlight or solvents that could degrade the material.
