Hammer JUCO 12402 steel head 200 g with wooden handle 280 mm

JUCO 12402 hammer features a 200 g forged steel head mounted on a 280 mm wooden handle. Intended for general metalworking and light carpentry, this compact hammer provides controlled striking for shaping, riveting, adjusting fittings and performing repair tasks that require precision. The balanced combination of a modest head weight and a short handle supports accurate blows and good control in confined workspaces and assembly operations.

Advantages

The steel head delivers consistent impact and wear resistance appropriate for repeated light striking. The wooden handle offers shock absorption and a traditional grip profile that helps reduce vibration transfer to the hand. Its compact dimensions make the tool easy to position for precise strikes and convenient to store or carry in a workshop toolbox.

Suitable for

• Shaping and light metalworking tasks
• Riveting and fitting small components
• Light carpentry and joinery adjustments
• Workshop repairs and assembly work
• Tasks requiring controlled, accurate strikes in confined spaces

Key specifications

• Head material: steel, forged for durability
• Head weight: 200 g for controlled striking force
• Handle material: wood for shock absorption
• Overall handle length: 280 mm for compact reach
• Tool type: hand hammer suitable for light-duty metal and wood work

How to use

Hold the wooden handle near the end for maximum leverage or closer to the head for finer control. Position the hammer squarely on the target surface and apply controlled, steady strikes to avoid glancing blows. Use the lighter 200 g head for tasks that need precision rather than high impact energy. Inspect the head-to-handle joint regularly and ensure the wooden handle is free from cracks or splinters before each use.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when striking metal or working near flying debris. Avoid using the hammer on hardened steel or striking hardened surfaces to prevent chipping of the head. Store the tool in a dry place and periodically check the handle for wear; replace the handle if looseness or damage is detected.
