Hammer Vorel 30430, ball-peen hammer, 300 g, single-piece

Vorel 30430 is a single-piece ball-peen hammer with a 300 g head weight designed for metalworking, shaping, riveting and light demolition tasks. The tool combines a balanced striking head and a wooden handle with a painted finish, delivering controlled impact for workshop, maintenance and hobby use where moderate force and precision are required.

Advantages

The hammer features a blackened steel head that resists wear and reduces glare during use, and a wooden handle secured by wedges to protect the joint and provide reliable connection between head and handle. Its 300 g head offers a compromise between force and control, suitable for repeated strikes without excessive rebound. The painted handle provides improved grip and some protection against moisture compared with raw wood.

Suitable for

• Metal shaping and peening work
• Riveting and light forging
• Nail driving and assembly tasks
• Small demolition and maintenance jobs
• Hobby workshop tasks and general repairs

Key specifications

• Head type: ball-peen (peen and flat face)
• Head weight: 300 g
• Head finish: blackened steel surface for wear resistance
• Handle material: wood with painted finish
• Joint protection: secured by wedges
• Construction: single-piece assembly (head and handle fitted as one unit)

How to use

Hold the hammer near the end of the handle for maximum control and leverage when striking. Use the flat face for driving nails and general striking, and the ball peen for shaping, riveting and light peening operations. Ensure the striking face and workpiece are clean and properly supported before applying force. For repetitive tasks, use measured, controlled strikes rather than excessive force to reduce risk of damage to the workpiece or fatigue for the user.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the wooden handle and the wedge-secured joint periodically; replace the tool if the head becomes loose or the handle shows significant cracks. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when performing metalworking, riveting or demolition tasks. Store the hammer in a dry place to minimise corrosion and protect the painted handle finish.
