Masonry Hammer MODECO MN-32-013, Berlin head, steel handle, 600 g

MODECO masonry hammer MN-32-013 features a 600 g Berlin-style head and a steel handle designed for bricklaying, mortar removal and light demolition. The head combines a flat striking face with a chisel-like peen, allowing both impact blows and targeted shaping or breaking of masonry material. The steel handle provides rigidity and extended service life for frequent use in construction and renovation work.

Advantages

The Berlin head offers two working surfaces: a broad face for driving and a narrow peen for chipping and shaping. With a 600 g head weight the tool delivers effective impact force while remaining controllable for precision tasks. The full steel construction increases durability and resistance to wear compared with wooden handles, reducing the need for maintenance and replacement. The balanced design helps maintain stable handling during repeated strikes.

Suitable for

• Bricklaying and adjusting masonry units
• Removing or chipping out old mortar
• Light demolition of plaster or thin masonry
• Shaping bricks, blocks or tiles on site
• General repair and renovation tasks involving masonry

Key specifications

• Head type: Berlin (masonry) head with flat face and chisel-like peen
• Head weight: 600 g

How to use

Hold the hammer by the steel handle with a firm two-handed or single-handed grip depending on the task and required control. Use the flat face for driving and delivering broad impact blows when aligning or setting masonry units. Use the chisel-like peen for chipping out mortar joints, removing small areas of plaster, or shaping brick edges. Position your body to allow clear sight of the work area and strike controlled blows rather than excessive force to reduce rebound and improve accuracy. Inspect the tool regularly for signs of wear, loose fittings or deformation and stop using it if the head becomes loose or damaged.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate protective equipment such as safety glasses and work gloves. Use the 600 g masonry hammer for tasks that require both impact and controlled chipping; avoid using it on hardened steel or metallic fasteners to prevent damage to the hammer head. Store in a dry place to limit corrosion and check the handle and head connection before each use.
