Proline locksmith hammer 12518 with an 800 g forged and quenched head and a two-component anti-slip TPR plastic handle is designed for metalworking, fitting and general locksmith work. The compact head geometry and balanced weight enable controlled strikes for shaping, driving pins and fasteners, light demolition and assembly tasks. The hammer’s forged and quenched head improves impact resistance and wear life, while the two-component handle provides a secure grip and reduced hand fatigue during repeated use.

Advantages

The hammered head is forged and quenched for increased toughness and resistance to chipping. The 800 g mass offers a balance between force and control suitable for precision fitting and light striking jobs. The two-composite anti-slip TPR handle ensures a firm grip in varied working conditions and dampens vibration to reduce user fatigue. The compact overall design provides better access in confined spaces compared with larger hammers.

How to use

Grip the hammer by the plastic handle close to the end to maximize control and leverage. Align the striking face with the workpiece and deliver measured blows to shape metal, drive pins or fasteners, or perform light demolition. For precision tasks use lighter, controlled swings; for driving operations allow the hammer’s 800 g head mass to provide impact while maintaining a firm, stable grip. Inspect the head and handle regularly for signs of wear or damage and do not use the tool if the head is loose or the handle is cracked.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when striking. Match the hammer weight and compact design to the task—use the 800 g locksmith hammer for fitting, light striking and assembly rather than heavy demolition. Store the tool in a dry place and periodically check the handle overmold and head fit to ensure safe operation.
