Hammer MODECO MN-30-103, cross-peen / locksmith hammer, wooden handle, 300 g

MODECO MN-30-103 cross-peen locksmith hammer with a wooden handle and a 300 g steel head is designed for metalworking, light demolition and general workshop tasks. The cross-peen profile concentrates force along a narrow edge for shaping, riveting and bending metal, while the flat face performs general striking. The wooden handle provides a comfortable grip and natural vibration damping during repetitive use in repair, assembly and fabrication work.

Advantages

The hammer combines a balanced 300 g head with a cross-peen geometry that delivers controlled, precise strikes for metal shaping and fitting. A straight wooden handle absorbs shocks and reduces hand fatigue compared with non-damped handles. The dual-face design — cross-peen and flat — increases the tool’s versatility for punching, riveting and light demolition without the need to switch tools frequently.

Suitable for

• Metal shaping, bending and riveting in locksmith and fabrication tasks
• Light demolition and panel removal where controlled strikes are required
• General workshop use: fitting, assembly and repetitive striking tasks
• Hobbyist metalwork and small repair jobs

Key specifications

• Head weight: 300 g
• Head type: cross-peen (one narrow peen, one flat face)
• Handle material: wood for shock absorption
• Intended use: metalworking, locksmith tasks, light demolition
• Ergonomic attributes: balanced weight distribution for controlled strikes

How to use

Hold the wooden handle with a secure grip near the end to maximise leverage and control. Use the cross-peen side for shaping, bending and starting rivets by directing the narrow edge where concentrated force is required; use the flat face for general striking and flattening surfaces. Keep strikes controlled and avoid overstrain on the handle by using steady motions. Inspect the head-to-handle connection periodically and replace the handle or secure the head if you detect looseness or cracks.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective operation, wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when working with metal or performing light demolition. Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent handle swelling or head corrosion, and avoid striking hardened surfaces that can chip the hammer face. Regularly check the wooden handle for splits and the head for secure seating; service or replace parts as needed to maintain safe performance.
