Geological hammer YATO YT-45650 1000 g with sharp point

The Geological hammer YATO YT-45650 1000 g with sharp point is a field tool designed for rock and mineral sampling. It combines a pointed pick for controlled chipping and a flat striking face for breaking and shaping samples. The hammer's balanced 1000 g head and reinforced connection to the handle provide stability and durability for repeated outdoor use in geology, mineral prospecting and sample preparation.

Advantages

The tool offers a dual-end head that allows accurate point work and reliable blunt-force impact without changing tools. Its robust construction resists deformation and wear under regular field conditions. The weight distribution and ergonomic handle design reduce user fatigue while maintaining effective striking force. Corrosion-resistant finishes and a securely fixed head improve safety and service life.

Suitable for

• Field geology and stratigraphic sampling
• Mineral prospecting and outcrop examination
• Sample preparation and splitting of small rock specimens
• Archaeological surface work requiring controlled chipping

Key specifications

• Head weight: 1000 g
• Head configuration: one sharp pointed end and one flat striking face
• Material properties: hardened striking surfaces for impact resistance
• Construction: reinforced head-to-handle connection for outdoor use
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment

How to use

Hold the hammer firmly by the handle with a controlled grip and position the pointed end against the rock where precise chipping is required. Use short, measured strikes with the pointed end to detach small flakes or to expose mineral features. For breaking or splitting larger fragments, use the flat face to deliver controlled blows. Maintain a stable stance and use protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and sturdy footwear during operation.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tool before each use to ensure the head is secure and the striking surfaces are intact. Replace the handle or repair mounting fittings if any looseness or damage appears. Clean the hammer after use and store it dry to prevent corrosion. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and avoid excessive swinging that can cause loss of control or premature wear.
