Hammer JUCO M2113, forging hammer with wooden handle, 5 kg head

JUCO M2113 forging hammer with a 5 kg steel head and wooden handle is a tool designed for heavy-duty metalworking tasks. The hammer’s mass and shape make it suitable for shaping and striking heated metal, driving large rivets and other demanding workshop operations. The wooden handle provides a cushioning effect that reduces transmitted vibration and helps maintain control during repeated blows.

Advantages

The hammer combines a high-mass forged steel head with a balanced head-to-handle ratio that enables controlled, powerful strikes while maintaining accuracy. The wooden handle offers natural shock absorption and a firm grip, and the overall construction is intended for prolonged use in blacksmithing and general workshop environments. The head profile supports both broad blows for shaping and concentrated impact for driving fasteners.

Suitable for

• Forging and blacksmithing operations on heated metal
• Shaping and flattening metal workpieces
• Driving large rivets and heavy-duty fastening tasks
• General workshop and maintenance tasks requiring a heavy hammer

Key specifications

• Head weight: 5 kg forged steel head for high-impact energy
• Handle material: wooden handle designed for shock absorption
• Design: balanced head-to-handle ratio for controlled strikes
• Head profile: suitable for both broad shaping blows and concentrated impacts

How to use

Grip the wooden handle firmly near the end to maximize swing leverage and control. Align each blow to the intended contact area on the workpiece, using measured swings rather than uncontrolled force to ensure accurate shaping and to reduce wear on the handle. For hot forging, position the workpiece on an appropriate anvil or support and strike while observing standard safety clearances to avoid glancing blows. Inspect the head-to-handle connection before use and after heavy sessions to confirm secure fit and safe operation.

Usage recommendations

Use protective equipment such as safety glasses, heat-resistant gloves and appropriate footwear when forging. Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent handle swelling or loosening, and periodically check and tighten or replace the wooden handle if any looseness or cracks appear. For prolonged heavy-duty use, consider reconditioning the handle and ensuring the head seating remains secure.
