Soft-head hammer Wiha No-recoil with hickory wooden handle

No-recoil soft-head hammer with hickory wooden handle designed for controlled striking in assembly work and on workpieces held in vices. The hammer head contains cast iron balls that reduce recoil, and the housing is manufactured from precision steel tubing with a welded-on shaft and powder-coated finish. The hickory handle has an ergonomic profile and a high-quality surface for reliable grip. Both striking faces are yellow, made of medium-hard, colourfast and wear-resistant polyurethane.

Advantages

The recoilless design minimizes impact feedback during strikes, reducing operator fatigue and improving strike precision. Durable powder-coated steel housing and a welded shaft ensure long-term stability. Hickory handle with ergonomic profile provides comfortable and secure handling. Polyurethane faces are medium-hard and resistant to wear and colour change, protecting workpiece surfaces from damage.

Key specifications

How to use

Hold the hickory handle with a firm, comfortable grip and position the polyurethane face against the work surface. Deliver controlled strikes using the hammer head; the internal cast iron balls reduce recoil transmitted to the user. Use medium force appropriate to the task to avoid excessive stress on the striking face. Inspect the faces and handle before use and replace the head or handle if damaged.

Recommendations

Use the Wiha No-recoil soft-head hammer for controlled assembly and fitting tasks where surface protection and reduced recoil are important. Store dry and inspect before each use; avoid striking hardened steel or sharp edges to preserve the polyurethane faces.
