Hammer YATO YT-4504 forge/metalworking 400 g head, 310 mm wooden handle

YATO YT-4504 is a forge and metalworking hammer with a 400 g steel head and a 310 mm wooden handle. It is intended for general metalworking and light assembly tasks where controlled striking force and a comfortable grip are required. The tool combines a cold-forged, blackened head with a lacquered wooden shank and provides a practical solution for workshop and maintenance use.

Advantages

The cold-forged head has a blackened surface that increases resistance to corrosion and wear, while the 400 g mass offers balanced striking force for shaping and driving operations. The lacquered wooden handle with an additional rubber cover ring improves grip comfort and helps absorb vibration during repeated impacts. A metal ring wedge secures the head-to-handle connection, ensuring stable performance in regular workshop applications.

Suitable for

• Shaping and forging small metal parts
• Driving punches and chisels
• Light assembly and disassembly in workshop and maintenance tasks
• Nail driving and general locksmith work

How to use

Hold the hammer by the wooden handle near its end for maximum control and leverage. Position the workpiece on a stable support and strike with the face of the 400 g head using controlled, consistent blows appropriate to the material and task. For driving punches or chisels, align the tool to be struck and use measured force to avoid damaging the chisel or workpiece. Inspect the head-to-handle connection before use and do not use the hammer if the handle is cracked or the wedge appears loose.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves during striking operations. Store the hammer in a dry location to maintain the lacquered wooden handle and blackened head surface. Replace the handle or discontinue use if the connection becomes loose or the wooden shank shows significant wear or damage.
