Hammer (slater's/blacksmith) EPM E-420-2020, 200 g head, plastic handle

EPM E-420-2020 is a slater's/blacksmith hammer with a 200 g striking head and a molded plastic handle designed for light metalworking, detail tasks and general repair work. The compact head weight provides control for precision strikes while the plastic handle balances shock absorption and grip to support repeated short-duration use. This tool is intended for tradespeople and hobbyists who need a small, accurate hammer for maintenance, assembly and fine shaping of metal and other materials.

Advantages

The hammer's 200 g head offers precise impact energy for delicate metalworking and tacking without excessive rebound. The plastic handle is shaped for comfortable hold and provides insulation against cold and minor vibration. Compact overall dimensions make the tool easy to handle in confined spaces and simple to carry on a work belt or in a toolbox. The head and handle pairing is aimed at predictable, repeatable strikes for assembly, adjustment and repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Light blacksmithing and sheet-metal tapping
• Tacking, riveting preparation and small joinery adjustments
• Maintenance, repair and assembly of household and workshop items
• Precision striking where controlled force is required

Key specifications

• Head weight: 200 g
• Head type: slater's / blacksmith style striking face
• Handle material: plastic (molded grip)
• Design: compact, lightweight hammer for fine work
• Intended use: light metalworking, tacks, detail work, repairs

How to use

Grip the plastic handle near its balance point to maintain control and reduce fatigue. Use short, controlled strikes for tacking, shaping or adjusting small metal pieces. For riveting or sheet-metal tapping, position the work securely and strike the rivet or seam with measured force to avoid over-driving. Inspect the head and handle before use for any damage; replace the tool if the head becomes loose or the handle shows significant wear.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair this 200 g hammer with appropriate eye protection and gloves when performing metalwork. Avoid heavy demolition tasks or high-force striking that exceed the hammer's light-duty design. Store in a dry place and check the handle-seat connection periodically to ensure safe, consistent performance.
