Hammer JUCO 5 kg blacksmith hammer with wooden handle 800 mm model 12474

JUCO 5 kg blacksmith hammer with wooden handle 800 mm model 12474 is a heavy-duty forging tool designed to deliver high-impact blows for shaping and forming metal. The 5 kg head mass concentrates kinetic energy into each strike while the 800 mm wooden handle provides leverage and reach required for demanding blacksmithing and metalworking operations. The tool is intended for use where controlled force, durability and balance are needed to perform repeated heavy strikes.

Advantages

The solid forged head mass of 5 kg enables effective energy transfer and deep shaping on large workpieces without requiring excessive repetition. The long 800 mm wooden handle reduces operator effort by increasing leverage and improving striking ergonomics. Construction combines a hardened striking face with a durable wooden handle that absorbs some shock and is replaceable if worn. The simple, balanced design supports precise control despite the hammer's heavy weight.

Suitable for

• Blacksmithing and forge work on medium to large metal pieces
• Shaping and flattening hot metal in fabrication and repair
• Heavy-duty striking where concentrated impact energy is required
• Riveting and driving large pins or spikes in metalwork

Key specifications

• Head mass: 5 kg
• Handle material: wood
• Overall handle length: 800 mm
• Tool type: blacksmith/forging hammer
• Typical applications: heavy forging, shaping, and striking

How to use

Secure the wooden handle in the hammer head and inspect both head and handle for tight fit before each use. Position the workpiece securely on a stable anvil or support. Use controlled swings, allowing the head mass to deliver force rather than swinging with excessive speed; this improves accuracy and reduces fatigue. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and ear protection. After use, store the hammer in a dry place to prevent handle degradation and periodically check the handle for cracks or looseness.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged heavy forging sessions, alternate between heavy strikes and lighter shaping blows to maintain control and extend tool life. Replace the wooden handle at the first sign of significant wear or cracking, and ensure the striking face remains free of deep nicks or deformations.
