Hammer AWTOOLS AW32045BL Depth 900 mm Weight 8.5 kg

The AWTools Hammer AW32045BL is a professional-grade forging and shaping tool with a 900 mm overall depth and a striking weight of 8.5 kg. The head is forged and hardened carbon steel for sustained impact resistance, while the rust-resistant powder coat finish protects the surface during regular use. The varnished beech wood handle is secured by a plastic wedge and a metal sleeve for a reliable connection between head and handle. Made in Poland, this hammer is designed for heavy-duty metalworking, construction and renovation tasks that require controlled, powerful blows.

Advantages

The forged and hardened carbon steel head provides high durability and wear resistance under repeated impact. A powder coat finish reduces corrosion and surface damage, extending service life in demanding environments. The varnished beech handle offers a balance of strength and shock absorption, and the combination of plastic wedge and metal sleeve ensures secure fixation of the head. The 8.5 kg weight delivers significant striking force for shaping, forging and heavy-duty metalwork while the 900 mm depth gives reach and leverage for controlled strikes.

Suitable for

• Forging and shaping metal in workshops and blacksmithing
• Heavy-duty metalworking and striking operations
• Construction and renovation tasks requiring durable striking tools
• Use in industrial maintenance where controlled high-impact force is needed

How to use

Before use, inspect the head-to-handle connection and ensure the plastic wedge and metal sleeve are intact and secure. Hold the handle near the end for maximum leverage and swing with controlled motion to apply the desired force; avoid overextending the swing to maintain accuracy and safety. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and sturdy footwear when striking metal or working in a shop environment. After use, clean off debris and store the hammer in a dry place to preserve the powder coat finish and wooden handle.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the hammer on suitable anvil or work surfaces and avoid striking hardened steel or materials that could chip the head. Regularly check the handle for cracks, revarnish or replace the handle if the wood shows significant wear, and keep the powder coat finish clean to reduce corrosion risk.
