Hammer with fiberglass handle Polax 36-020, 600 g head weight

Hand hammer Polax 36-020 with a 600 g steel head and a fiberglass handle is designed for general-purpose striking tasks in carpentry, demolition and assembly work. The weight distribution and hardened striking face deliver consistent impact energy while the fiberglass handle reduces transmitted vibration and improves grip stability during repeated use. The tool is built for frequent use and reduced risk of handle breakage, making it suitable for both professional tradespeople and home DIY projects that require reliable, controlled striking force.

Advantages

The hammer combines a 600 g forged steel head with a vibration-dampening fiberglass handle to provide steady striking performance and improved user comfort. Its balanced design helps maintain control during driving or removal of fasteners and light demolition. The fiberglass handle offers higher resistance to wear and fatigue compared with plain wood handles and decreases the chance of handle failure under normal working loads. The hardened striking face resists mushrooming, extending the tool’s service life.

Suitable for

• Driving and removing nails in carpentry and framing
• Light demolition and dismantling of interior elements
• Installation and fastening tasks where controlled strikes are required
• General workshop and maintenance tasks for both professionals and hobbyists

Key specifications

• Head weight: 600 g
• Head material: forged steel with hardened striking face
• Handle material: fiberglass with vibration-dampening properties
• Overall balance: designed for controlled impact and reduced rebound
• Typical applications: carpentry, demolition, fastening and assembly work

How to use

Grip the fiberglass handle near the end to maximise leverage and control. Aim the hardened striking face squarely at the target to reduce glancing blows and ensure efficient transfer of energy. For driving nails, strike the nail head with measured, steady blows until the nail is set; for removal, use a proper nail-pulling technique or a claw bar in combination with the hammer to avoid damaging the handle. Inspect the striking face and handle regularly for signs of excessive wear or damage and replace the tool if structural integrity is compromised.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection when performing striking or demolition tasks. Use the hammer only for intended striking purposes; avoid using the tool on hardened metal surfaces or as a prying device. Store in a dry place to maintain handle condition and check the head-to-handle connection periodically to ensure safety and consistent performance.
