Carpenter's hammer JUCO model 12489, steel handle, 600 g head, 320 mm length

Carpenter's hammer JUCO model 12489 features a steel handle, a 600 g hardened head and an overall length of 320 mm. Designed for carpentry, framing and general woodworking tasks, this hammer provides a reliable striking force for driving nails, adjusting joinery and shaping timber. The steel handle and balanced head deliver consistent performance for both professional tradespeople and home DIY users.

Advantages

The hardened 600 g head offers effective energy transfer for driving common nails and working with medium-density timber without excessive rebound. The steel handle increases durability and resists deformation under repeated impact while maintaining a controlled balance that reduces user fatigue during prolonged use. The 320 mm overall length gives a compromise between striking power and maneuverability in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Framing and structural carpentry
• Driving and removing nails in wood
• General joinery and furniture repair
• On-site construction and renovation tasks

Key specifications

• Head weight: 600 g, hardened steel
• Handle material: steel
• Overall length: 320 mm
• Tool type: claw carpenter's hammer for striking and nail removal

How to use

Hold the hammer near the end of the handle for maximum striking force or closer to the head for greater control when setting small nails. Position the nail square to the wood surface, start with light taps to set the nail, then deliver full strikes until the nail is driven to the desired depth. Use the claw to remove bent or overdriven nails by levering against the wood surface; protect the workpiece with a scrap block to avoid denting when prying nails.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the hammer before each use for looseness or damage. Wear eye protection when striking or prying, and keep a secure grip on the steel handle. Store the hammer in a dry place to limit corrosion on the steel handle and head.
