AWTools masonry hammer 1.5 kg, 28 cm, rubber handle

AWTools masonry hammer 1.5 kg, 28 cm, rubber handle is a hand tool designed for bricklaying, stonework and general masonry tasks. It combines a 1.5 kg forged head with a 28 cm overall length to provide controlled striking power in a compact form. The rubber handle improves grip and vibration damping, which helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive work while maintaining control when breaking, shaping or setting masonry materials.

Advantages

The hammer's 1.5 kg head delivers sufficient impact force for breaking small sections of brick, stone and mortar without excessive mass, allowing more precise placement of blows. The 28 cm overall length gives good balance between reach and maneuverability in confined spaces. A rubber handle provides enhanced grip in varied working conditions and absorbs some shock from impacts to reduce vibration transmitted to the hand. The striking face is hardened for durability and consistent performance when driving chisels, plugs or performing shaping tasks.

Suitable for

• Bricklaying and joint raking
• Stone shaping and dressing
• Removing mortar and small demolition tasks
• Driving masonry chisels and plugs
• General construction and repair work involving masonry materials

Key specifications

• Head weight: 1.5 kg
• Overall length: 28 cm
• Head material: forged steel with hardened striking face
• Handle type: rubber grip for vibration damping and slip resistance
• Tool type: masonry hammer for striking and light demolition

How to use

Hold the hammer near the end of the rubber handle to maximize leverage and control for most striking tasks, or move your hand closer to the head for more precise, lighter blows. Position the striking face squarely on the target area and use controlled swings to avoid glancing blows. When driving chisels, place the chisel on the workpiece and strike the chisel head with the hammer's flat face; maintain alignment between chisel and hammer to prevent slippage. Inspect the hammer before use for any visible damage to the head or handle and replace if any defects are present.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses and gloves. Use the hammer within its intended capacity: the 1.5 kg head is suitable for shaping, light demolition and chisel work but not for heavy-scale demolition. Keep the rubber handle clean and free of oil to maintain grip performance, and store the tool in a dry place to avoid corrosion of the steel head.
