Hammer Polax 600 g with wooden handle, model 36-029

Polax 600 g hammer with a wooden handle, model 36-029, is a general-purpose striking tool designed for routine workshop and household tasks. The hammer features a 600 g forged steel head paired with a straight wooden handle that provides natural shock absorption and a secure grip. The tool is suitable for driving nails, assembling furniture, light demolition and other common carpentry and repair jobs where controlled impact and comfort are required.

Advantages

The steel head offers consistent mass and balance for reliable striking energy while the wooden handle reduces vibration transmitted to the user’s hand. The compact 600 g head weight balances impact power and precision, making it practical for both repeated tasks and finer assembly work. The handle’s ergonomics provide a comfortable grip for extended use, and the simple construction supports straightforward maintenance and long-term service when used as intended.

How to use

Grip the wooden handle near its end for maximum leverage and control when driving nails or performing strikes. Position the nail or target, start with light taps to set the workpiece, then apply full controlled blows using the centre of the hammer face. For removing nails, use the claw (if present) or leverage the head edge carefully to avoid damaging the work surface. Inspect the handle and head before use to ensure the head is secure and the wood is free of splits; replace the handle if any structural damage is found.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection when performing striking or demolition tasks. Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent handle deterioration and check the head-to-handle fit regularly. For heavy-duty or high-frequency professional tasks, consider selecting a tool designed for increased impact loads.
