Sheet Metal Hammer Dedra F-T7532, 900 g head weight

Sheet metal hammer Dedra F-T7532, 900 g head weight is a hand tool engineered for shaping, bending and striking sheet metal. The tool combines a 900 g balanced head with a handle designed to provide grip and leverage, enabling controlled blows during auto body repair, metal fabrication and trim work. The hammer head geometry and mass are selected to deliver force without excessive rebound, supporting precision work on thin and medium-thickness metal panels.

Advantages

The 900 g head weight offers a compromise between power and control, allowing effective shaping while limiting the risk of overworking the metal. A balanced head reduces vibration transfer to the handle and improves accuracy of each strike. The handle construction provides a secure grip and adequate leverage for repetitive use, and the overall design is compact enough for confined working areas common in repair and fabrication tasks.

Suitable for

• Shaping and planishing sheet metal panels
• Auto body repair and dent removal
• General sheet metal fabrication and trimming
• Panel alignment and edge forming tasks

Key specifications

• Head weight: 900 g
• Hammer type: sheet metal / planishing hammer
• Head material: forged steel (construction for striking and shaping)
• Handle: ergonomic design for grip and leverage
• Intended use: precision hammering on thin to medium gauge metal

How to use

Hold the hammer firmly but without excessive tension, positioning the palm closer to the end of the handle to maximise leverage for shaping tasks or nearer the head for fine work. Use controlled, measured strikes to progressively form or flatten the metal; avoid heavy, single-force blows that can stretch or damage thin panels. When working on vehicle bodywork, support the reverse side of the panel where possible and work from the edges toward the centre to achieve even planishing. Inspect the workpiece frequently and adjust strike force and angle as the shape approaches the desired profile.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the sheet metal hammer with an appropriate dolly or backing tool matched to the panel curvature. Wear eye protection and gloves to protect against metal fragments and sharp edges. Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the head, and periodically check the handle attachment for tightness and wear.
