Hammer Beta Tools model BE 1390/45, mounting hammer with 45 mm plastic-faced mallet heads

Beta Tools BE 1390/45 is a mounting hammer fitted with 45 mm plastic-faced mallet heads designed to deliver controlled, non-marring impacts for assembly and installation tasks. The tool provides a balance between force and surface protection, allowing installers and technicians to apply blows without deforming or scratching delicate materials. Intended for use in carpentry, metalworking and general maintenance, this mounting hammer helps position fittings, trim and press-fit components reliably.

Advantages

The plastic-faced mallet heads absorb shock and distribute impact over a larger contact area to reduce surface damage while maintaining effective force transfer. The compact 45 mm striking faces enable precise hits in confined spaces and improve access near edges and fittings. Constructed to withstand repeated use, the hammer offers consistent performance for light-to-medium assembly tasks and adjustments where a steel hammer would be too aggressive.

Suitable for

• Installing trim, mouldings and fittings without scratching or denting surfaces
• Assembling press-fit components and delicate connections
• Carpentry work requiring gentle tapping and alignment
• Metalworking tasks where controlled impact is needed to avoid deformation
• Maintenance and repair tasks on sensitive finishes

Key specifications

• Head type: plastic-faced mallet heads
• Striking face diameter: 45 mm
• Application: mounting and assembly with non-marring blows
• Suitable materials: wood, soft metals, painted and finished surfaces, plastics
• Use range: light-to-medium impact tasks

How to use

Hold the mounting hammer firmly by its handle and position the 45 mm plastic-faced head against the workpiece at the intended impact point. Deliver controlled strikes of moderate force to seat fittings or align parts; avoid full-force swings that are unnecessary for the task. For repeated impacts, check the condition of the plastic faces and rotate or replace them if wear reduces effectiveness. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when working in confined or overhead locations.

Usage recommendations

Use the hammer for tasks where protection of the work surface is a priority. For very hard materials or heavy demolition, switch to a suitable steel hammer. Store the tool in a dry place away from direct heat to preserve the plastic faces and inspect them periodically for cracks or severe wear.
