Hammer MODECO MN-30-110 — 1 kg locksmith/metalworking hammer with wooden handle

MODECO MN-30-110 — 1 kg locksmith/metalworking hammer with wooden handle is a hand tool intended for controlled striking, shaping and light demolition in metalworking and general workshop tasks. The forged steel head concentrates impact energy for accurate blows while the wooden handle provides vibration damping and a secure grip. The tool is balanced for one-handed use and appropriate for assembly, repair and maintenance operations that require predictable force application.

Advantages

The hammer combines a durable steel striking head with a traditional wooden handle to reduce transmitted shock and improve tactile feedback during repeated strikes. Its 1 kg head weight offers a compromise between power and control, enabling precise shaping of metal and efficient driving of pins or punches. The wooden handle is replaceable and ergonomically shaped to minimize hand fatigue over extended use.

Suitable for

• Metal shaping and light forging tasks in a workshop
• Driving punches, chisels and pins
• Assembly and disassembly of mechanical components
• Minor demolition and adjustment work on sheet metal and small structures
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring controlled strikes

Key specifications

• Head weight: 1 kg
• Head material: forged steel
• Handle material: wood
• Tool type: locksmith / metalworking hammer
• Balance: suited for one-handed operation and controlled striking

How to use

Hold the hammer near the end of the wooden handle for maximum leverage or closer to the head for finer control, depending on the task. Ensure the workpiece is properly secured in a vice or on a stable surface before striking. Use steady, controlled swings to apply force where shaping or driving is required; avoid overstriking the handle or using the hammer on hardened surfaces that could damage the head. Inspect the handle and head before use for cracks, looseness or other defects and replace the handle if it shows significant wear.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. For tasks requiring repeated heavy blows, consider using additional damping or switching to a heavier hammer suitable for larger-scale work. Store the hammer in a dry place to protect the wooden handle from moisture and periodically check the head-to-handle fit to maintain safe operation.
