The Groz Hickory Wood Handle Blacksmith Hammers also known as Cross Pein Hammers are designed for light metalworking jobs. The rugged steel heads are forged from special steel and induction-hardened 50-58 HRC for unmatched durability. The head comes with one chiseled end and one beveled end. The genuine hickory wood handles manufactured from the strongest hickory imported from USA provide high energy transfer and vibration absorption and offer a balanced and controlled swing, reducing user fatigue. A reinforcing collar at the base of the head ensures protection against overstrike damage. These hickory wood hammers conform to BS 876 and ASME standards and are used in light metalworking and shaping jobs by metalworkers, welders, contractors, tradesmen, and serious DIYers.
