Masonry Hammer MODECO MN-32-017 600 g, Rhine-style head, plastic handle

MODECO MN-32-017 masonry hammer, weighing 600 g, features a Rhine-style head designed for striking and chipping tasks common in bricklaying, stonework and general masonry. The tool combines a flat hammer face with an elongated chisel-like peen for controlled shaping and trimming of masonry units. A molded plastic handle provides grip comfort and basic vibration damping for routine construction and renovation work.

Advantages

The Rhine-style head offers a versatile combination of a broad striking face and a tapered peen that facilitates precise chipping and removal of excess material. At 600 g the hammer balances impact force and control for manual masonry tasks. The plastic handle reduces slippage in typical worksite conditions and contributes to light-weight maneuverability. The compact form and dual-purpose head reduce the need to switch tools during common on-site adjustments.

Suitable for

• Bricklaying and mortar joint trimming
• Shaping and trimming natural or engineered stone
• Removing protruding mortar and small chipping tasks
• General on-site masonry adjustments and renovation work

Key specifications

• Weight: 600 g
• Head style: Rhine-style (flat face and tapered peen)
• Primary uses: striking and chipping masonry materials
• Handle material: molded plastic for grip and basic vibration damping

How to use

Hold the MODECO masonry hammer with a firm grip on the plastic handle, positioning the struck surface squarely under the flat face for general striking or using the tapered peen for controlled chipping and trimming. Use measured, consistent strikes rather than excessive force to reduce risk of uncontrolled chipping or damage to masonry units. Maintain proper body posture and support the workpiece when performing shaping or trimming operations.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves. Inspect the hammer before use for secure head attachment and handle integrity. For heavy demolition or repeated high-impact work, choose a heavier-duty hammer or additional power tools suited to the task.
