Solid fitter's hammer with hickory handle, 200 g, with protective cover

You use a bench hammer for jobs where feel and control matter more than striking force. Think of driving small nails and pins, straightening thin sheet material, striking a chisel or punch, and adjusting parts on the workbench. The compact size makes the tool suitable for installers, metalworkers, carpenters and maintenance technicians.

What work is a 200 g fitter's hammer suitable for?

A weight of 200 grams indicates a light hammer. It allows you to work precisely and keeps your wrist relieved when making many small strikes in a row. For heavy breaking or demolition work, or for driving large nails, choose a heavier hammer or a sledgehammer. For fine work, a light version is more practical and safer.

Hickory handle: why this wood is widely used

Hickory is known as a hard and resilient wood that partly absorbs vibrations. This makes it a common choice for hammer handles. A wooden handle also feels comfortable in the hand and can often be replaced if damaged, without having to throw away the whole hammer. Check the handle regularly for cracks and make sure the head is firmly attached.

Protective cover and maintenance

The protective cover fits over the hammer head and helps protect the striking face from damage and dirt during storage or transport in your tool bag. Keep the hammer dry and use it only for its intended purpose, so that the head and handle last a long time.
