Hammer JUCO M1162 forging/engineer hammer with wooden handle 400 g

JUCO M1162 forging/engineer hammer with wooden handle 400 g is a compact metalworking tool intended for shaping, driving punches and chisels, and light assembly tasks. The 400 g head weight and traditional wooden handle deliver a balance between control and impact energy, suitable for general fitting and maintenance work in workshops or on DIY projects. The hammer's design follows common engineer/forging hammer characteristics for localized striking and controlled blows.

Advantages

The 400 g head provides controlled striking force appropriate for shaping, light forging and fitting operations while minimizing user fatigue. A wooden handle offers natural shock absorption and a traditional grip profile that many users prefer for tactile feedback and handling. The compact size and balanced weight make it convenient for confined workspaces and varied workshop tasks where precision and control are needed.

Suitable for

• Metal shaping and light forging operations
• Driving punches and chisels
• General fitting and assembly work
• Workshop maintenance and repair tasks
• DIY projects requiring a compact hammer

Key specifications

• Head weight: 400 g
• Hammer type: forging / engineer hammer
• Handle material: wood
• Intended use: metalworking, fitting, light assembly

How to use

Hold the wooden handle near the end to maximize swing control and impact force. Use measured, controlled strikes when shaping metal, driving punches or chisels, and during assembly to avoid over‑striking. Inspect the head-to-handle fit before each use and ensure the handle is free of cracks or significant wear. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when performing metalworking or fitting tasks.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select this 400 g JUCO hammer when tasks require a balance of control and impact rather than heavy forging. Maintain the wooden handle by keeping it dry and free of oil or solvents; replace the handle if it shows structural damage. Combine with properly sized punches, chisels and personal protective equipment for safe, efficient work.
