Hammer MODECO MN-30-080, cross-peen locksmith hammer, wooden handle, 8 kg

MODECO MN-30-080 is a cross-peen locksmith hammer with an 8 kg forged steel head and a wooden handle designed for heavy-duty striking, shaping metal, and riveting tasks. The concentrated mass of the head delivers high impact energy for deformation and demolition work while the wooden handle provides natural shock absorption and a secure grip during repetitive manual operations in workshops and construction sites.

Advantages

The hammer combines a high-mass steel head for effective energy transfer with a resilient wooden handle that reduces vibration and improves operator comfort. The cross-peen profile of the head makes it suitable for starting rivets, bending and shaping metal, and access work in tight spaces where controlled directional blows are required. The simple construction supports easy maintenance and long service life under proper use.

Suitable for

• Metal shaping and forging-style tasks in small workshops
• Starting and setting rivets in assembly and repair work
• Demolition and controlled striking where a heavy impact is required
• Sheet metal work and fitting where directional blows are needed
• General locksmith and maintenance operations

Key specifications

• Head type: cross-peen (cross-pein) profile
• Head weight: 8 kg (approximate mass for heavy striking)
• Head material: forged steel for concentrated impact
• Handle material: solid wood for shock absorption and grip
• Intended use: heavy-duty striking, metal shaping, riveting, demolition

How to use

Securely grip the wooden handle near the end for maximum swing control and leverage. Align the cross-peen face with the workpiece when beginning directional shaping or starting rivets; use the flat face for general striking and demolition. Maintain a controlled swing to direct the impact where needed and avoid glancing blows. Inspect the handle and head connection before use to ensure the head is firmly seated and there are no cracks or loosened fittings.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, and protective footwear. Store the hammer in a dry place to preserve the wooden handle and periodically check for wear or damage. For prolonged work, alternate tasks or take breaks to reduce fatigue from handling a heavy 8 kg head. Match the hammer size and impact energy to the task to avoid damage to the workpiece or tool.
