Hammer MODECO MN-30-305 500 g locksmith hammer with plastic handle

MODECO MN-30-305 500 g locksmith hammer with plastic handle is a hand tool designed for metalworking, workshop maintenance and assembly tasks. The hammer combines a forged steel head with a molded plastic handle to provide controlled striking force for shaping, adjusting and light demolition work. Its 500 g head weight balances impact power and control for repetitive tasks and precision work on metal components.

Advantages

The forged head offers consistent hardness and impact resistance for striking and shaping metal. The plastic handle provides a secure grip and reduces hand fatigue during extended use while resisting oils and common workshop contaminants. The 500 g weight delivers sufficient force for locksmith and light metalworking operations without excessive rebound, enabling accurate strikes and minimal vibration transfer to the user.

Suitable for

• Shaping and adjusting metal parts in locksmithing and light fabrication
• Assembly and disassembly of mechanical components
• Maintenance tasks requiring controlled impact
• Light demolition or removal of fasteners and fittings
• Workshop use where a medium-weight hammer is needed

Key specifications

• Head type: forged steel head suitable for striking and shaping
• Head weight: 500 g for balanced impact and control
• Handle material: molded plastic handle designed for grip and durability
• Primary use: locksmithing, metalworking and general workshop tasks
• Design: single-piece head with attached handle for manual striking

How to use

Hold the plastic handle near the end to maximise leverage and control, keeping a firm but comfortable grip. Position the forged head against the workpiece and deliver measured strikes according to the material and desired deformation. Use shorter, controlled blows for precision shaping and stronger swings for loosening or light demolition. Inspect the head and handle regularly for wear, and stop use if any cracks, looseness or significant damage appear.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when working with metal. Match the 500 g hammer to tasks that require medium-impact force; for delicate work use smaller, softer-faced tools, and for heavy demolition choose a heavier-duty hammer. Store the hammer in a dry place to avoid corrosion and check the handle connection before each use.
