Soft-faced hammer Gedore Schonhammer 8829170 300 mm non-rebound

Gedore Schonhammer 8829170 is a 300 mm soft-faced hammer designed for impact work that requires surface protection and reduced rebound. The non-rebound design limits kickback, improving control and safety during assembly, maintenance and precision workshop tasks. Replaceable soft faces allow striking without marring or deforming delicate components, and the tool’s balanced length provides reach while maintaining maneuverability.

Advantages

The non-rebound construction reduces energy returned to the user on impact, lowering the risk of accidental slips and improving repeatable striking. Soft, replaceable faces protect finished surfaces and fragile materials from dents and scratches. The 300 mm overall length gives a compromise between reach and control, and the hammer is suitable for frequent use in environments where controlled force is required. The design supports straightforward replacement of faces for extended service life.

Suitable for

• Assembly of components where surface finish must be preserved
• Precision workshop work and light forging tasks
• Maintenance and repair on machinery with delicate parts
• Fitting, adjusting and seating bearings, bushings, and panels

Key specifications

• Type: soft-faced hammer with non-rebound design
• Overall length: 300 mm
• Replaceable soft striking faces to prevent surface damage
• Balanced weight distribution for controlled strikes
• Intended use: impact tasks requiring reduced rebound and surface protection

How to use

Select appropriate soft faces for the material and task, ensuring they are correctly fitted and secured before use. Hold the hammer by the handle near the end to achieve maximum control and use measured swings to deliver controlled strikes. For repetitive operations, position workpieces securely and ensure hands and fingers remain clear of the impact zone. Replace worn faces promptly to maintain surface protection and consistent striking performance.

Usage recommendations

Use protective eyewear and follow workshop safety practices. Choose the soft face hardness suitable for the workpiece: softer faces for highly finished surfaces and slightly firmer faces where more force is required. Inspect the hammer regularly for damage and ensure replacement parts are fitted according to manufacturer instructions.
