Proline Tools 12587 hammer

Proline 700 g hammer with a wooden handle model 12587 is a general-purpose metalworking and fitting tool designed for controlled striking tasks. The 700-gram head balances weight and control to deliver steady impact for shaping, driving, and fitting metal components. The wooden handle offers natural shock absorption and a comfortable, traditional grip suitable for repeated use in workshop and maintenance environments.

Advantages

This hammer provides a balance between striking power and control, making it appropriate for moderate-duty metalworking and assembly. The wooden handle reduces vibration transfer to the user’s hand while offering a familiar grip profile for steady handling. The head geometry and mass are selected to perform shaping, driving pins, and light fitting work without excessive rebound. The tool is durable under typical workshop conditions when handled and stored properly.

Suitable for

• Shaping and forming small to medium metal parts
• Driving pins, stakes, and light fittings
• General maintenance and repair tasks in workshops
• Fitting and adjustment work where controlled strikes are required

Key specifications

• Head mass: 700 grams for moderate striking force
• Handle material: wood for natural shock absorption
• Tool type: general-purpose metalworking and fitting hammer
• Typical use: shaping, striking, fitting, and driving tasks

How to use

Hold the hammer by the end of the wooden handle to maximise control and leverage. Position the workpiece securely, using appropriate clamps or a vice. Apply controlled, measured strikes to avoid excessive force that could damage the workpiece or the tool. Use the flat face for driving and fitting, and the edge or peen if light shaping or localized striking is required. Inspect the handle and head before use to ensure they are secure and free from cracks or loosened fittings.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, wear appropriate eye protection and gloves as needed, keep the working area clear, and maintain the wooden handle by storing the hammer in a dry place and periodically checking for wear. Replace the handle or head if any signs of damage appear to maintain safe performance.
