Hammer JUCO 4 kg, wooden handle, 700 mm, model 12444

JUCO 4 kg hammer with a wooden handle, model 12444, is a heavy‑duty striking tool intended for tasks that require high impact energy. The hammer combines a 4 kg forged steel head with a 700 mm wooden handle to deliver controlled, powerful blows for demolition, metalworking and construction applications. The solid wooden grip reduces vibration transfer to the user and offers a secure hold during repetitive striking operations.

Advantages

The high-mass 4 kg head provides strong impact force for breaking, driving and shaping materials without excessive rebound. A 700 mm wooden handle gives extended reach and mechanical leverage while maintaining natural shock absorption. The tool is built for durability with a hardened striking face and a robust connection between head and handle to withstand heavy use. Its simple design allows easy maintenance and replacement of the handle when necessary.

Suitable for

• Demolition of masonry, concrete and stone
• Driving large stakes and posts
• Metalworking tasks requiring heavy hammering and shaping
• Construction tasks where strong, controlled blows are needed
• Outdoor and agricultural tasks that need large-impact tools

Key specifications

• Head weight: 4 kg
• Handle material: wood
• Handle length: 700 mm
• Tool type: heavy striking/metalworking hammer
• Typical applications: demolition, metal shaping, stake driving

How to use

Grip the wooden handle with both hands, placing the dominant hand near the end of the 700 mm handle to maximize leverage and the other hand closer to the head for control during the initial swing. Position your feet for stable stance and use controlled shoulder and torso motion to deliver each blow, allowing the mass of the 4 kg head to do most of the work. Inspect the head‑to‑handle connection before use and avoid striking hardened steel against hardened steel to prevent chipping or damage. Replace the handle if it shows cracks, splits or looseness.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, gloves and steel‑toe footwear. For precision metalwork, practice controlled strikes and consider using a softer intermediary material when needed. Store the hammer in a dry place to protect the wooden handle from moisture and check the tool periodically for wear or damage.
