Claw Hammer Polax 36-018 with Fiberglass Handle, 400 g

Polax 400 g hammer with a fiberglass handle combines a durable striking head with vibration-damping handle construction for general carpentry and light construction tasks. The hammer head is shaped for precise strikes while the fiberglass handle provides resilience and reduces transmitted shock, offering a balance between control and user comfort suitable for repeated use.

Advantages

The fiberglass handle offers improved shock absorption compared to solid metal handles, lowering hand fatigue and reducing vibration transfer during impact. The 400 g head weight delivers sufficient striking force for driving nails, assembling frames and light demolition without being overly heavy for extended use. The hammer’s head geometry supports accurate placement and consistent blows, while the handle material provides increased durability and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and temperature changes.

Suitable for

• Driving and removing nails in wood and light framing
• General carpentry and joinery tasks
• Light demolition and renovation work
• DIY home projects and furniture assembly
• Situations where reduced vibration and user comfort matter

Key specifications

• Head weight: 400 g
• Handle material: fiberglass
• Intended use: carpentry, light construction, DIY
• Design: claw hammer head for nail removal and striking
• Balance: optimized for control and repeated use

How to use

Hold the hammer near the end of the fiberglass handle for maximal leverage and control. Position the nail and deliver controlled strikes with the hammer face, increasing force as needed while maintaining steady aim. Use the claw to remove nails by hooking under the nail head and levering against the work surface; protect finished surfaces with a block of wood if necessary. Store the hammer in a dry place and inspect the handle and head connection before use to ensure they remain secure.

Usage recommendations

For safer and more effective work, wear appropriate hand protection and eye protection when using the hammer. Avoid using the tool on hardened steel, masonry, or on surfaces that could chip and create hazardous fragments. Regularly check the handle for cracks or loosening and replace the tool if signs of damage appear.
