Hammer Gedore 8673730

Forged hammer head conforming to DIN 1041 with induction-hardened edges on the flat face. The hammer has a contoured hickory handle manufactured to DIN 5111 and is fitted with a long hardened steel sleeve to protect the handle. A tapered collar, fixing plate and wood screw secure the head to the handle, forming a single durable unit. The product is supplied under the Gedore brand as Hammer Gedore 8673730 and is intended for general striking work where a reliable wooden-handle hammer is required.

Advantages

The induction-hardened edges increase wear resistance on the striking face while the forged head ensures structural strength. The contoured hickory handle provides comfortable grip and shock absorption. The long hardened steel sleeve protects the handle from splitting at the striking end, and the tapered collar with fixing plate and wood screw creates a secure, long-lasting connection between head and handle. The hammer balances durability and cost-effectiveness for common workshop and site tasks.

How to use

Hold the hammer by the contoured hickory handle near the end for maximum leverage and control. Use the flat, induction-hardened face for general striking and driving tasks. Verify the head is secure before use by checking the tapered collar, fixing plate and wood screw. Apply controlled, firm strikes appropriate to the task and material; avoid excessive lateral blows that could stress the head–handle connection.

Recommendations

Inspect the handle and head connection regularly; replace the handle if signs of splitting or loosened fixing appear. Store the hammer in a dry place to preserve the hickory handle, and use safety goggles when striking to protect against flying debris.
