The STANLEY 1-51-172 brick hammer is a compact hand tool designed for masonry tasks such as splitting bricks, chipping mortar and light demolition. It features a black finish, a 19 mm head width and a 200 g head weight, providing a balance between control and impact for precise strikes during on-site shaping and minor removal work. The tool is sized for one-handed use and intended for masons, renovators and DIY users who require a reliable hammer for brick-related jobs.

Advantages

The hammer’s 19 mm head width concentrates force for accurate cutting and chisel-like action while the 200 g head weight delivers sufficient impact without causing excessive user fatigue. Its compact and balanced design improves control for targeted strikes, and the black finish offers corrosion resistance and reduced glare. The overall dimensions and weight make it suitable for confined spaces and frequent handling on construction or renovation sites.

Suitable for

• Splitting and shaping bricks
• Chipping and removing mortar joints
• Light demolition and surface preparation
• On-site repair and renovation tasks

Key specifications

• Head width: 19 mm
• Head weight: 200 g
• Finish: black
• Tool type: brick hammer for masonry work
• Designed for one-handed use and precise strikes

How to use

Hold the hammer near the end of its handle for maximum control when performing precise strikes, or move your grip closer to the head for heavier impact when splitting bricks. Position the cutting edge against the brick or mortar joint and apply controlled, firm strikes until the material splits or the mortar loosens. Use steady, measured force rather than excessive swinging to reduce the risk of damaging surrounding materials and to maintain accuracy.

Usage recommendations

The tool is intended for masonry and light demolition tasks; use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection when working. Inspect the hammer before use for any signs of damage or looseness, and avoid striking hardened steel or other metallic objects to prevent chipping of the head. Store the tool in a dry place to preserve the finish and prevent corrosion.
