Hammer EPM E-420-2040 slater's/metalworking hammer 400 g with plastic handle

EPM E-420-2040 is a 400 g slater's/metalworking hammer with a plastic handle designed for strikes, fitting and light metalworking tasks. The tool combines a balanced hammer head with a durable synthetic grip to provide controlled impact and reduced vibration. It is intended for general workshop use including assembly, maintenance and small repair jobs where precise striking and handling are required.

Advantages

The hammer's 400 g head weight offers a balance between control and impact energy for light metalworking and fitting tasks. The plastic handle provides a consistent ergonomic shape and a secure surface for grip, helping to reduce hand fatigue during repeated use. The head and handle connection is designed for stability under typical workshop forces, making the tool suitable for frequent handling in maintenance and assembly environments.

Suitable for

• Light metalworking and fitting operations
• Slating and sheet metal adjustments
• Assembly and maintenance tasks
• Small repair and workshop jobs requiring controlled strikes

Key specifications

• Head weight: 400 g
• Head type: slater's / metalworking hammer head suitable for strikes and fitting
• Handle material: plastic (synthetic grip)
• Design focus: balanced head for controlled impact and reduced vibration
• Typical use: light striking, fitting, assembly and maintenance

How to use

Hold the hammer by the plastic handle near the end of the grip to maximise swing control and impact efficiency. Position the workpiece securely and use measured strikes to avoid excessive force that could deform thin metal or damage fittings. For fitting and adjustment tasks, use short controlled blows; for light striking, allow the hammer's mass to deliver the required impact while maintaining wrist alignment to minimise vibration transfer to the hand.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the hammer before each use for a secure head-to-handle connection and any visible damage to the handle material. Use suitable personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when working with metal. Store the tool in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the plastic handle and to prolong service life.
