MODECO MN-30-101 is a locksmith/ball-peen hammer with a wooden handle and a 100 g steel head designed for light metalworking, riveting, shaping and general workshop tasks. The compact weight and ball-peen profile provide control for precision striking and forming work, while the wooden handle offers natural shock absorption and a traditional grip suited to maintenance, hobby metalwork and assembly operations.
Advantages
The small 100 g head reduces rebound and fatigue during repetitive light-duty tasks, enabling more accurate strikes when working on small parts. The ball-peen face is shaped for rounding and shaping metal, and the flat face provides a uniform striking surface for general use. The wooden handle combines tactile feedback with vibration damping and can be replaced if worn, preserving tool longevity.
Suitable for
- Light metal shaping and panel work
- Riveting and setting small fasteners
- Precision assembly and maintenance tasks
- Hobby and model-making projects involving metal
Key specifications
- Head type: ball-peen (one rounded peen, one flat face)
- Head material: steel
- Head weight: 100 g
- Handle material: wood
- Tool category: locksmith/ball-peen hammer for light-duty work
How to use
Hold the hammer near the end of the wooden handle to maximise control and leverage for each strike. Use the rounded peen for shaping, peening and tightening rivets, and the flat face for straight strikes on edges and fasteners. Apply measured, controlled blows to avoid damaging small parts; for stubborn work, use progressively stronger strikes rather than a single heavy blow. Inspect the handle and head seating before use and ensure the head is secure.
Usage recommendations
For best results, wear appropriate eye protection during metalworking and keep the wooden handle dry and free from oil to maintain grip. Replace the handle if it becomes cracked or loose, and choose protective gloves when extended work is required to reduce vibration and improve comfort.
