Hammer JUCO model 29993, blacksmith/striking hammer 500 g, wooden handle 320 mm

JUCO model 29993 is a 500 g striking/blacksmith-style hammer with a 320 mm wooden handle, designed for general metalworking, light demolition, driving nails and shaping metal. The hammer combines a forged, ground and induction-hardened head with a high-grade beech wooden shank, offering a traditional grip and a balanced striking face suitable for workshop and hobby tasks that require controlled force.

Advantages

The forged and ground head with induction hardening increases wear resistance at the working face while preserving a durable core, and the 500 g mass provides a balance between impact force and control. The 320 mm beech handle delivers comfortable hand positioning and shock absorption typical of wooden grips. Compliance with DIN 1041 indicates consistent geometry and safe dimensions for locksmith and general striking operations.

Suitable for

• General metalworking and light blacksmithing tasks
• Driving and removing nails in carpentry and joinery where moderate force is needed
• Light demolition and dismantling work
• Shaping and bending sheet metal or small forgings
• Workshop and hobbyist repair tasks requiring controlled strikes

Key specifications

• Weight of head: 500 g
• Overall handle length: 320 mm
• Head: forged and ground
• Head hardening: induction hardened working face
• Handle material: high-grade beech wood
• Design standard: manufactured in accordance with DIN 1041

How to use

Hold the beech handle near the end for maximum leverage and control; position your grip to allow a straight swing and align the striking face with the target. Use measured, controlled strikes rather than excessive force to preserve the head and handle. When driving nails, start with light taps to position the nail and finish with firmer strikes. For shaping metal, use the flat face for general blows and controlled glancing strikes to bend or form material as needed.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the wooden handle and head seating before each use; ensure the head is firmly mounted on the handle. Wear appropriate eye protection when striking metal or during demolition. Store the hammer in a dry place to protect the beech handle from moisture and check periodically for cracks or loosened head fitment.
