GEKO G72274 is a 500 g locksmith/bench hammer with a wooden handle designed for general metalworking and workshop tasks. The compact head and balanced weight make it suitable for shaping, riveting, light demolition and assembly work where controlled striking force and tactile feedback are required.

Advantages

The 500 g head delivers a medium striking force that allows accurate blows without excessive recoil, while the wooden handle provides natural shock absorption and a comfortable grip for prolonged use. The hammer's design supports precise metal forming and light repair operations in a workbench or small workshop environment.

Suitable for

• Metal shaping and light forging tasks
• Riveting and pin driving
• Assembly and disassembly of small components
• Light demolition and trimming
• General repair and hobby projects

Key specifications

• Head weight: 500 g
• Head type: locksmith / bench hammer profile suitable for metalworking
• Handle material: wood for vibration damping and grip comfort
• Typical use: shaping, riveting, light demolition, assembly
• Tool category: hammer for workshop and general metalwork

How to use

Hold the wooden handle near the end to maximize leverage and control. Align the hammer face with the workpiece and strike with steady, controlled motions appropriate to the task — lighter blows for shaping and heavier but controlled strikes for riveting or trimming. Ensure the workpiece is securely supported on a stable surface such as an anvil or bench vice before striking. Inspect the wooden handle and head fit regularly; do not use the hammer if the head is loose or the handle is cracked.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, wear appropriate eye protection and secure small parts with clamps or a vice. Store the hammer in a dry place to preserve the wooden handle and periodically check for tight head fit and handle integrity. Use the 500 g hammer where controlled striking is needed rather than heavy demolition.
