Wiha Safety Soft-Face Hammer 26645 with White Heads and Wooden Handle

The Wiha Safety Soft-Face Hammer 26645 is a professional-grade tool engineered for precision and surface protection. Featuring durable white polyamide impact heads, this hammer is designed to deliver firm strikes without damaging sensitive workpieces. The robust housing is constructed from powder-coated malleable cast iron, incorporating specialized grooves that securely clamp both the impact faces and the handle to ensure maximum stability during operation.

Advantages

This soft-face hammer offers exceptional durability and control for demanding professional tasks. The high-quality hickory handle is shaped with an ergonomic profile and a non-slip surface, providing a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during extended use. The white polyamide heads are highly wear-resistant and colourfast, ensuring a long service life even under heavy-duty conditions. Its balanced construction allows for efficient force transfer, making it a reliable choice for delicate assembly and installation work where surface integrity is paramount.

Suitable for

• Building and construction projects
• Foundry and mould making operations
• Road work and infrastructure maintenance
• Forestry and agricultural tasks
• Gardening and professional landscaping

When it may not be suitable

This tool is not intended for heavy demolition work or tasks requiring metal-on-metal impact, as the polyamide heads are designed to absorb shock rather than deliver crushing force. It may also be less effective in extremely tight spaces where the head diameter might be too large for the specific application.

Key specifications

• Head material: Wear-resistant white polyamide (nylon)
• Housing material: Powder-coated malleable cast iron
• Handle material: High-quality hickory wood
• Handle design: Ergonomic profile with non-slip surface
• Safety standard: GS-mark certified

How to use

To use the hammer, ensure the impact faces are securely seated within the cast iron housing grooves. Grip the hickory handle firmly at the designated ergonomic area to maintain control. Apply the force required for your specific task, allowing the soft-face head to absorb the impact energy and protect the surface of the material being struck. Always inspect the polyamide heads for excessive wear before starting a project to ensure continued performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the head hardness is appropriate for your specific material requirements
• Ensure the handle length is suitable for your intended workspace
• Check that the hammer weight meets your ergonomic comfort needs

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the hickory handle for signs of damage or splintering to maintain safety. Keep the impact faces clean and free of debris to prevent surface marring during delicate assembly tasks.
