BRADAS Schlosserhammer 500 g, fiberglass handle with non-slip TPR coating, anthracite/orange

The BRADAS Schlosserhammer 500 g is a general-purpose locksmith and maintenance hammer with a fibreglass handle finished in anthracite and orange. It combines a balanced 500 g head with a reinforced single-piece construction and a thermoplastic rubber (TPR) non-slip coating on the handle to provide controlled strikes and improved grip. Designed for use in metalworking, assembly and general repair tasks, the tool is suitable for workshop and home use where reliable impact control and hand comfort are required.

Advantages

The fibreglass handle offers higher resistance to impact and bending compared with standard wooden handles while remaining lighter than solid steel. The TPR coating provides a non-slip surface that reduces hand fatigue and improves control during repetitive striking. The 500 g head weight is chosen to deliver sufficient impact force for shaping and driving operations without excessive recoil. The single-piece design reduces the risk of head loosening and enhances durability for prolonged use.

Suitable for

• Light metalworking and shaping tasks
• Assembly and dismantling of mechanical parts
• Maintenance and repair jobs around the workshop or home
• DIY projects that require controlled striking force

When it may not be suitable

This 500 g locksmith hammer is not intended for heavy-duty demolition or large-scale construction work where higher mass or specialized breaking tools are required. It may also be less suitable for precision finishing on delicate surfaces where softer mallets are preferred.

Key specifications

• Head weight: 500 g
• Handle material: fibreglass
• Handle coating: non-slip thermoplastic rubber (TPR)
• Colour: anthracite and orange
• Construction: single-piece reinforced assembly

How to use

Grip the handle near its end to maximise leverage and control, ensuring the TPR-coated area rests comfortably in your palm. Aim the hammer face squarely at the target and use controlled, even strikes rather than excessive force to reduce recoil and material damage. For metalworking tasks, support the workpiece securely and wear suitable eye and hand protection. After use, inspect the head and handle for signs of damage and store the tool in a dry place to maintain the fibreglass and coating condition.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 500 g head weight matches the force required for your tasks
• Check handle length and clearance for comfortable two-handed use if needed
• Consider whether non-slip TPR coating is preferred over bare fibreglass or wooden handles
• Evaluate if a heavier or softer striking tool is more appropriate for specialized jobs

Usage recommendations

Use the BRADAS Schlosserhammer for controlled striking and light shaping tasks; pair it with appropriate personal protective equipment and secure clamping for metal and assembly work to ensure safe and effective results.
