Hammer Topex carpenter's hammer steel handle 600 g, 318 mm (02A160)

Carpenter's hammer Topex with a steel handle, weighing 600 g and measuring 318 mm, is designed for general carpentry tasks such as driving and removing nails, light demolition and woodwork. The balanced head and solid steel handle provide consistent striking performance and durability for both workshop and on-site use. The hammer's dimensions and weight are tuned to offer controlled force while reducing user fatigue during repetitive tasks.

Advantages

The steel handle gives the hammer enhanced strength and impact resistance compared with wooden alternatives, while the balanced head improves accuracy and control when striking. The 600 g head weight offers a compromise between driving power and maneuverability for common carpentry operations. Robust construction and a compact overall length make the tool suitable for confined spaces and frequent handling.

Suitable for

• Driving and removing nails in timber and soft materials
• Light demolition and dismantling of wooden structures
• General joinery and carpentry work
• DIY home improvement tasks

Key specifications

• Head weight: 600 g
• Total length: 318 mm
• Handle material: steel
• Tool type: carpenter's hammer

How to use

Grip the hammer near the end of the steel handle for maximum leverage when driving nails; hold closer to the head for precision tasks. Position the nail perpendicular to the work surface and deliver controlled strikes with the hammer face, using steady wrist motion rather than excessive arm force. Use the claw to remove nails by engaging the head of the nail and levering it out while protecting the workpiece with a thin scrap of wood if necessary. Inspect the hammer regularly for signs of handle deformation or head loosening and stop use if any damage is detected.

Usage recommendations

For safer operation, wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when using the hammer. Use the hammer only on materials and tasks suited to its weight and size; avoid striking hardened steel, masonry, or other materials that can cause chipping or rebound. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the steel handle.
