Hammer Proline 12021 — claw hammer, weight 230 g, single piece

Claw hammer Proline 12021 is a compact, single-piece hand tool with a 230 g steel head designed for general carpentry, light demolition and nail driving. The tool pairs a weighted head with a varnished hardwood handle for controlled striking and effective nail extraction. The head features a two-coloured rubber covering and an additional reinforcement at the head base secured with a nail, providing impact resistance and improved grip between head and handle. The hammer’s modest size and weight make it convenient for household repairs, woodworking and finishing tasks on construction sites.

Advantages

The combination of a steel head and a varnished hard-wood handle delivers durability and predictable balance during use. The two-coloured rubber covering on the head helps reduce surface damage and provides improved shock absorption. Additional reinforcement at the head base increases joint strength and reduces the risk of loosening during repeated strikes. The 230 g weight offers a balance between driving force and user control suitable for fine carpentry and everyday repair work.

Suitable for

• Driving and removing common nails in carpentry and joinery
• Light demolition and removal of small fixtures
• Household repairs and furniture assembly
• Finishing work and trim installation

Key specifications

• Head material: forged steel with two-coloured rubber coating
• Mass: 230 g
• Handle material: varnished high-quality hardwood
• Construction: single-piece assembly with reinforced head base
• Primary functions: nail driving and claw-based nail extraction

How to use

Hold the hammer close to the end of the handle for maximum leverage or nearer the head for controlled, precise strikes. Position the nail vertically and use measured swings to drive it into the workpiece; use the claw to engage the nail head for extraction, applying steady pulling force while levering against the surface to remove the nail. Keep a firm, controlled grip on the varnished hardwood handle to maintain accuracy and reduce rebound. Inspect the reinforced head base and handle connection periodically for signs of wear or loosening.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate eye protection and gloves when performing demolition or repetitive striking. Avoid using the hammer on hardened steel or masonry without suitable protection and select a heavier hammer for heavy framing tasks. Store the tool in a dry place to preserve the varnished wooden handle and check the head-to-handle joint before each use.
