Hammer MODECO MN-30-104 — locksmith/metalworking hammer with wooden handle, 400 g

MODECO MN-30-104 is a 400 g locksmith and metalworking hammer with a wooden handle, designed for general striking, shaping and light demolition tasks on metal and other materials. The hammer combines a forged steel head that resists impact with a shaped wooden handle that provides shock absorption and a secure grip, making it suitable for workshop, garage and maintenance environments.

Advantages

The forged steel head ensures durability and reliable energy transfer on impact while the 400 g mass offers a balance between control and driving power for precision metalwork. The wooden handle reduces vibration transmitted to the user’s hand and neck, and its ergonomic profile improves handling during repetitive operations. The compact head size enables access to tighter spaces compared with larger striking tools.

• Shaping and forming metal sheets and small parts
• Driving light punches, chisels and stakes
• General workshop and garage maintenance tasks
• Light demolition and removal of fasteners
• Precision striking where controlled force is required

How to use

Hold the hammer by the end of the wooden handle for maximum control and impact force or closer to the head for finer work. Position the workpiece securely in a vice or on a stable surface before striking. Use controlled, deliberate strikes to shape, flatten or drive small components; avoid excessive swinging that can lead to loss of accuracy. Inspect the head-to-handle connection before use and replace the tool if the handle is cracked or the head is loose.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective operation, wear appropriate eye protection and gloves. Use the hammer only on tasks within its weight class and inspect the handle and head regularly. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent handle degradation and keep the striking faces free of nicks or burrs to preserve performance.
