Claw hammer AWTools AW32040BL, 400 mm depth, 2.2 kg

AWTools AW32040BL claw hammer, 400 mm overall length with a 2.2 kg head, is designed for driving and extracting nails in carpentry, framing and general construction tasks. The head is forged from high-quality hardened carbon steel with a ground and polished striking face, while the claw provides reliable prying and nail-removal performance. The varnished beech wood handle is secured with a plastic wedge and the tool features a rust-resistant powder coat finish. Manufactured in Poland for standard workshop and site use where a medium-weight hammer is required.

Advantages

The forged and hardened carbon steel head provides consistent hardness and impact resistance for repeated striking. A ground and polished striking surface reduces mushrooming and improves contact with nails. The rust-resistant powder coat finish protects the head against corrosion and wear during storage and on the job. The varnished beech handle offers a balance of strength and vibration absorption and is fixed with a plastic wedge for a secure connection between head and handle. The 400 mm overall length and 2.2 kg head weight deliver a compromise between control and striking force for a variety of tasks.

Suitable for

• Driving and removing nails in carpentry and joinery
• Framing and structural woodwork

How to use

Grip the varnished beech handle firmly near the end to maximise leverage and control. Position the nail or workpiece and use the ground and polished striking face to deliver controlled blows; the 2.2 kg head provides significant impact energy while the 400 mm length keeps the tool manageable. To remove nails, insert the claw under the nail head and use the handle as a lever, applying steady force. Inspect the head-to-handle connection before use and re-seat or replace the handle if any looseness is detected.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection and gloves when striking or prying. Store the hammer in a dry place to preserve the powder coat finish and wooden handle. For prolonged use in heavy-duty metal forging, consider a specialist striking tool; for typical carpentry and renovation tasks this hammer provides effective performance.
