Hammer YATO YT-4493, claw hammer, weight 300 g, single piece

YATO YT-4493 claw hammer, weight 300 g, supplied as a single piece, is designed for general carpentry, light construction and household repairs. It features a striking face for driving nails and a curved claw for efficient extraction. The compact 300 g head provides controlled striking force suitable for precision tasks, locksmith work and routine DIY projects where balance between impact and control is required.

Advantages

The hammer combines a cold-forged, blackened head with a wooden painted shank that is additionally protected by a rubber guard ring. The connection between head and handle is secured by a metal ring wedge, increasing safety and reducing the risk of loosening during use. Its lightweight design improves handling in prolonged tasks and in situations that require accurate, measured strikes.

How to use

Hold the hammer by the wooden handle near the end to achieve optimal leverage and control.

To remove nails, use the curved claw to engage the nail head and lever it out with steady pressure, protecting the work surface if necessary. Inspect the metal wedge connection and rubber guard ring periodically for secure attachment before use.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection and appropriate gloves during hammering. For heavier demolition or framing work, select a hammer with a higher head weight. Store the tool in a dry place to preserve the wooden handle and the blackened head finish.
