Description

Lump Hammers (aka Club Hammers) are short handled heavy headed hammers commonly available in weights from 2lb to 4lb.

Features and Uses

They are commonly used to strike heavy blows single-handedly to Cold Chisels or to Forge hot metal. They are also used by builders and construction workers for light demolition work and striking Bolsters or Plugging Chisels.

Safety Point! When these are used for masonry work especially, debris is likely to fly so the wearing of safety glasses and working gloves is recommended.

DT Online Buyers' Guide
  • 12oz Hammers (0.45kg) are a good useful size for general work in Design and Technology.
  • Larger 2lb hammers (1kg) are used for heavier work such as Blacksmithing for example.
  • Smaller hammers (e.g. 4oz and 8oz) are suitable for jewellery work and model engineering applications.
  • Brick Hammers between 1lb and 1.5lb weight (450g to 700g) are suitable for school use and are available also with a Scutch Comb Chisel at one end which can be used for shaping brick and masonry.
  • A 2lb Lump Hammer (0.9kg) is a good useful size for general work in Design and Technology and home maintenance tasks.
  • 2lb to 4lb Sledge Hammers (1-2kg) are a suitable size for general forge-work in Design and Technology since hammers heavier than 4lb would be difficult for students to use.
