The Groz Hickory Wood Handle Machinist’s Hammers are metal working hammers conforming to DIN 1041. The rugged steel heads are forged from special steel and induction-hardened 50-58 HRC for unmatched durability. The head comes with a square beveled face at one end and an angular cross pein on the other. The genuine hickory wood handles manufactured from the strongest imported hickory 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 hammers are useful in metalworking applications for riveting, shaping & flattening of metal, removal of dents, forging, embossing and in jewellery applications.
