Cross-peen hammer Gedore 600 H-2000 Steel head Wood handle 40 cm

The Gedore 600 H-2000 cross-peen hammer combines a solid steel head with a wooden handle to deliver controlled impact force for metalworking, carpentry and general workshop tasks. The tool features a 40 cm wooden handle and a total mass of 2.49 kg, with the hammer head weighing 2 kg to provide the momentum required for driving nails, shaping metal or setting rivets. The balanced design supports repeatable strikes while the cross-peen profile helps direct force for shaping and starting work on tight spots.

Advantages

The steel head provides high durability and resistance to deformation under repeated impact, while the wooden handle offers vibration absorption and a comfortable grip. The head-to-handle connection is made to resist loosening during normal workshop use, and the 40 cm handle length ensures good leverage and control. The 2 kg head mass is chosen to balance power and manageability for a wide range of tasks.

How to use

Grip the wooden handle near its end for maximum leverage or closer to the head for controlled taps. Align the cross-peen face to direct force along the desired line when shaping metal or starting a nail, then follow through with the flat face when needing broader impact. Inspect the head and handle connection before use and ensure the head is secure. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when striking, and keep bystanders clear of the work area.

Recommendations

For longest service life, store the hammer in a dry place and periodically check the handle for cracks and the head for signs of mushrooming. Replace or dress any deformed head surfaces and repair or replace a damaged handle to maintain safe performance.
