Hammer Stanley FATMAX 1-56-001

The Stanley FATMAX 1-56-001 hammer combines a one-piece forged steel construction with patented AntiVibe technology to reduce vibration and shock on impact. The hammer has a durable steel head and an ergonomically shaped thermoplastic rubber handle that provides improved grip and comfort during extended use. With a 28 cm handle length and a 100 mm head width, this tool balances control and striking power for light demolition, driving masonry nails and general striking tasks. The black, stainless steel and yellow finish reflects the FATMAX design language and supports easy identification in a toolbox.

Advantages

The one-piece forged construction increases strength and reduces the risk of head separation. AntiVibe technology minimises transmitted vibration and shock to the user’s arm, reducing fatigue during repetitive work. The thermoplastic rubber handle is ergonomically shaped to enhance grip and comfort while improving control. The 100 mm striking face provides a stable contact area for accurate blows, and the overall build is suitable for regular trade and DIY use.

How to use

Hold the hammer by the TPR handle with a firm but relaxed grip, positioning your hand to allow controlled swings. Use the centre of the 100 mm striking face for most blows to achieve consistent results. For driving masonry nails, start with light taps to set the nail, then increase force as required. When striking chisels or punches, ensure the tool being struck is secured and aligned before impact. Inspect the hammer regularly for signs of wear or damage and stop use if the head or handle shows cracks or significant deterioration.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when using the hammer. Use the Stanley FATMAX 1-56-001 for intended light demolition and striking applications; avoid using it on hardened steel or as a pry bar to prevent damage. Store in a dry place to avoid corrosion and check the handle and head integrity before each use.
