Hammer — Dedra 13M420 forging/metalworking hammer, plastic handle, 300 g

Dedra 13M420 forging/metalworking hammer with a 300 g head and plastic handle is designed for controlled shaping, riveting and light demolition in metalworking and general workshop tasks. The compact head weight provides predictable striking force suitable for small forging jobs, sheet metal shaping and repair tasks where accuracy and feel are important. The plastic handle combines durability with shock absorption for routine maintenance, assembly and home workshop use.

Advantages

The hammer offers a small, balanced head that aids precision work while reducing user fatigue during repeated strikes. Its plastic handle provides a non-slip grip and helps dampen vibration from impacts. The overall construction is intended for frequent use on metal components, fittings and light demolition without the bulk of heavier hammers.

Suitable for

• Metal shaping and light forging
• Riveting and pin driving
• Sheet metal repair and fitting
• General workshop maintenance and assembly
• Light demolition or chipping tasks

Key specifications

• Head weight: 300 g
• Head material: forged metal suitable for metalworking impact
• Handle material: plastic with anti-slip surface
• Tool type: forging / metalworking hammer
• Balance: compact, designed for controlled strikes

How to use

Hold the hammer by the plastic handle near the end to achieve maximum striking force and control. Position the workpiece securely on a stable anvil or support, and use controlled swings to shape, rivet or chip material. For precision tasks, use short, measured strikes; for light demolition, allow the hammer's mass to deliver stronger blows while maintaining safe control. Inspect the handle and head before use to ensure they are secure and free of damage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Avoid using the hammer on hardened or brittle materials that can shatter; select a heavier or purpose-specific hammer for large demolition or heavy forging tasks. Store the tool in a dry place and check the handle attachment periodically to maintain safe operation.
