Hammer Hazet Gleithammer 1788T-1 — 393 g head, 226 mm overall length

Hazet Gleithammer 1788T-1 is a compact hand hammer with a 393 g striking head and a total length of 226 mm. Designed for precision striking, this hammer offers controlled blows for light assembly, adjustment and disassembly tasks. Its short overall length and balanced weight distribution make it suitable for work in confined spaces and for applications that require careful force application to avoid damage to components.

Advantages

The Gleithammer provides precise impact control due to its moderate head mass and short handle, enabling accurate placement of each strike. The compact dimensions improve maneuverability in tight areas, while the balanced feel reduces user fatigue during repeated light tapping operations. The hammer’s striking face and geometry are intended to deliver consistent blows for delicate mechanical and workshop tasks.

Suitable for

• Precision light striking and tapping in mechanical assembly
• Controlled disassembly of small components
• Adjusting parts where limited clearance prevents larger hammers
• Workshop maintenance tasks requiring careful force application

Key specifications

• Striking head weight: 393 g
• Total length: 226 mm
• Tool type: sliding/peen hammer for light precision work
• Designed use: controlled striking, light assembly and disassembly

How to use

Hold the hammer close to the end of the handle to maximize control for precision strikes, or closer to the head for smaller, more controlled taps. Position the striking face square to the target surface and apply measured blows to avoid overstriking. Use the hammer for light assembly, tapping components into place, or gently loosening stuck parts; avoid using it for heavy demolition or high-energy impacts beyond its intended purpose.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the striking face and handle before use; do not use the hammer if the head is loose or the striking surfaces are excessively worn. Wear appropriate eye protection when striking metal or hard materials. For tasks requiring greater force, select a hammer with a larger head mass and longer handle to maintain safety and tool longevity.
