Hammer JUCO 12422 forging/blacksmith hammer 200 g wooden handle 280 mm

JUCO 12422 forging/blacksmith hammer is a 200 g hand tool with a 280 mm wooden handle, designed for metalworking and general workshop tasks. The hammer combines a compact striking face with a balanced wooden grip to deliver controlled blows for shaping, light forging, driving punches and pins, and small assembly or repair jobs. Its dimensions and mass make it suitable for precision work where a lighter, more manageable hammer is required than full-size forging tools.

Advantages

The hammer's 200 g head minimizes user fatigue during repetitive light forging and shaping operations while still delivering sufficient impact for metal forming and pin driving. The 280 mm wooden handle provides a comfortable, natural grip and dampens vibration to improve control. The compact striking face enables accurate blows in confined areas and on small workpieces. Built as a simple, single-purpose tool, it is easy to handle, store and maintain.

Suitable for

• Light forging and shaping of small metal parts
• Driving punches, pins and small chisels
• Assembly, maintenance and repair in small workshops
• Hobbyist metalworking and DIY projects

Key specifications

• Head weight: 200 g
• Handle material: wood
• Overall handle length: 280 mm
• Tool type: forging / blacksmith hammer
• Striking face: compact, suited for precision blows

How to use

Hold the hammer near the end of the wooden handle for maximum leverage and control, or closer to the head for more compact, precise strikes. Position the workpiece securely in a vise or on an appropriate anvil surface before striking. Use controlled, measured swings to avoid excessive force that could damage small parts or cause rebound. Inspect the handle and head before use to ensure the head is firmly seated and the handle is free of cracks or splinters.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when performing metalworking tasks. For tasks requiring higher impact energy or heavy forging, select a heavier forging hammer. Maintain the wooden handle by keeping it dry and periodically checking for tight fit to the head; replace the handle if damaged.
