Riveting hammer YATO YT-4498, steel head, wooden handle 36 cm, 1 kg

The Riveting hammer YATO YT-4498 is a hand tool with a forged steel head and a 36 cm wooden handle, designed for controlled striking tasks. Weighing 1 kg, this hammer balances impact force with user control to perform riveting, light striking, and fastening operations in workshops, maintenance jobs, and construction settings. The single-piece pack contains the hammer ready for immediate use.

Advantages

The steel head provides consistent hardness and wear resistance for repetitive striking, while the wooden handle offers tactile feedback and vibration absorption. The 36 cm length gives a compromise between reach and control, enabling accurate blows with reduced user fatigue. The 1 kg head weight is suitable for medium-intensity tasks where measured impact is required rather than heavy demolition.

Suitable for

• Riveting and setting rivets in metalwork
• Light striking and tapping of parts during assembly
• Maintenance tasks and repairs in workshops
• Fastening operations where controlled blows are necessary
• Carpentry jobs that require precise light strikes

Key specifications

• Head material: forged steel for durability
• Handle material: wood for grip and vibration damping
• Handle length: 36 cm for balanced reach and control
• Total weight: 1 kg optimized for medium-impact applications
• Intended application: riveting, light striking, fastening

How to use

Grip the wooden handle near its end to maximize leverage and control. Position the rivet or workpiece securely, then strike with controlled, steady blows using the steel head to set the rivet or move the part into place. For tapping or light striking, use shorter, precise swings. Inspect the handle and head before use and ensure the head is seated firmly on the handle. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when operating the hammer.

Usage recommendations

Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent handle degradation and keep the steel head free from rust. Regularly check the handle for cracks and the head for excessive wear. For tasks requiring heavier impact, choose a hammer with a larger head weight; for delicate work, use lighter tools or a dedicated mallet to avoid damaging the workpiece.
