It’s designed for tradespeople and serious DIYers who need a reliable tool for everyday brickwork and light demolition tasks. Key features\n- Hammer head: Forged, hardened and tempered to withstand regular striking and resist deformation during masonry work.\n- Handle: Hickory, with a grip manufactured to British Standard measurements, delivering a thicker, more comfortable grip when striking.\n- Pattern: Traditional club hammer profile, suited for driving chisels, tapping bricks and blocks, and breaking small quantities of mortar.
