Hammer (Blacksmith) MILWAUKEE 1130 g with Fibreglass Handle, MPN 4932498305

MILWAUKEE blacksmith hammer with a 1130 g head and a fibreglass handle is designed for heavy striking tasks in metalworking and construction. The high-mass forged steel head delivers concentrated impact for forging, shaping and driving operations, while the fibreglass handle reduces transmitted vibration and improves fatigue resistance. The tool is intended for repeated use under demanding conditions and combines robust materials with a balance that aids control during forceful strikes.

Advantages

The steel head provides high impact energy and wear resistance for extended service life. The fibreglass handle offers improved shock absorption compared with traditional wooden handles, reducing hand and arm vibration during prolonged use. The head-to-handle connection is engineered to withstand heavy-duty work, and the overall weight distribution supports controlled, effective strikes for blacksmithing, metal shaping and demolition tasks.

Suitable for

• Forging and blacksmithing work
• Metal shaping and planishing
• Driving heavy punches, chisels and stakes
• Demolition and construction tasks requiring high-impact blows
• Workshop and on-site professional use

Key specifications

• Head weight: 1130 g
• Head material: forged steel
• Handle material: fibreglass
• Handle design: shock-absorbing fibreglass shaft
• Intended use: heavy striking for metalworking and construction
• Balance: optimized for controlled force transfer

How to use

Grip the fibreglass handle firmly with both hands for heavy forging and shaping operations, positioning the striking face squarely on the workpiece to ensure efficient energy transfer. Use steady, controlled swings and allow the hammer weight to deliver the force rather than forcing excessive motion. Inspect the head-to-handle connection before each use and avoid striking hardened metal edges or surfaces that can cause mushrooming or chipping of the striking face. When working overhead or in confined positions, adjust stance and grip to maintain control and minimize risk.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged tasks, wear appropriate hand protection and hearing protection as needed. Store the hammer in a dry place and inspect regularly for handle damage or head looseness; replace the tool if the connection becomes compromised. Use the tool only for intended heavy striking tasks and match hammer weight to the workpiece and operator capability to maintain safe and efficient operation.
