Claw Hammer Proline 12585 — 500 g, single-piece hand tool for driving and removing nails

Proline 12585 is a 500 g claw hammer engineered as a single-piece hand tool for driving and removing nails. The forged and quenched head provides consistent hardness at the striking face and the claw, while the ashen wood handle with a protective plastic cover at the shaft base improves durability and reduces the risk of wood splitting during use. Its compact, balanced design supports controlled striking and routine maintenance work in carpentry and household tasks.

Advantages

The single-piece forged and quenched construction ensures reliable impact resistance and long service life. The ashen wood handle delivers a comfortable grip and natural shock absorption, while the plastic cover at the handle base protects the shaft from damage and wear. The 500 g head weight offers a balance between driving power and control, suitable for general-purpose carpentry and domestic repairs.

Suitable for

• Driving and removing nails in woodworking and carpentry
• Household repairs and routine maintenance
• DIY projects that require controlled striking force
• Light construction and fit-out tasks

Key specifications

• Head weight: 500 g
• Head construction: forged and quenched single-piece design
• Tool type: claw hammer (striking face and nail-removal claw)
• Handle material: ashen wood with protective plastic cover at shaft base
• Balance: compact, balanced for controlled striking

How to use

Hold the hammer near the end of the handle for maximum control and leverage when driving nails; use a higher grip toward the head for more precise, lighter strikes. Position the nail and strike the head with controlled, square blows to avoid glancing impacts. To remove nails, slide the claw under the nail head and apply steady leverage against a stable fulcrum surface to extract the nail without damaging the surrounding material.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the wooden handle regularly for cracks or looseness and ensure the plastic cover remains in place to protect the shaft base. Wear eye protection when striking to guard against flying debris. Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent handle deterioration, and avoid using the tool on hardened steel, masonry or as a pry bar to maintain its structural integrity.
