Steel-bodied locksmith hammer YATO YT-4505, wooden handle, 500 g head, 320 mm length

YATO YT-4505 is a steel-bodied locksmith hammer with a 500 g striking head and a 320 mm wooden handle. Designed for striking, shaping and light demolition tasks in metalworking and general repair, this bench hammer combines a durable steel head with a traditional wooden grip to deliver controlled impact force and basic vibration absorption. The compact length and balanced weight make it suitable for workshop benches, maintenance work and on-site repairs where a reliable handheld striking tool is required.

Advantages

The steel-bodied head provides consistent impact performance and resistance to wear under repeated use, while the 500 g mass offers a balance between driving force and control. The wooden handle yields a comfortable grip with some natural shock damping to reduce user fatigue during repetitive tasks. The overall construction supports precise striking and shaping of metal parts as well as light demolition or assembly tasks without excessive bulk.

Suitable for

• Striking and shaping metal components in a workshop environment
• Light demolition and chisel work on non-structural materials
• General maintenance and repair tasks in construction and industrial settings
• Bench work, assembly and fitting where controlled blows are required

Key specifications

• Head material: steel
• Head weight: 500 g
• Handle material: wood

How to use

Hold the wooden handle close to the end to maximize leverage and control, and strike squarely with the face of the steel head. Use measured, controlled swings for shaping or driving tasks to avoid glancing blows. For chisel or light demolition work, pair the hammer with appropriate hand tools and ensure the striking surface is clean and free of defects. Inspect the wooden handle and head seating regularly and refrain from using the hammer if the head is loose or the handle is cracked.

Usage recommendations

Use safety glasses and appropriate hand protection when performing striking or demolition tasks. Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent handle degradation and periodically check the head-to-handle fit; replace the handle if signs of wear or loosening appear.
