Council Tool 4 lbs. Cross Pein Hammer; 15 in. Wooden Handle

4  lbs. cross pein hammer (sometimes called a “blacksmith” hammer) with hickory handle.

Overview

• 4 lbs. cross pein hammer (sometimes called a “blacksmith” hammer).
• Forged tool steel head, Made in USA , with clear lacquer finish to deter rust.
• Striking face is precision-machined with proper radius and chamfer (bevel), providing safer performance.
• Heat treated after machining for increased depth of hardness. (Turning after hardening looks more attractive (on competitor’s tools) but leaves less depth.)
• Heat treatment produces fine grain structure and Rc 45-60 (Rockwell) for safety and toughness.
• 15 in american-made hickory handle, kiln dried before turning. Eye section is then dried below 10% moisture content prior to assembly.
• Handle is hydraulically inserted into head and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge, providing a very secure mechanical bond. Approximately 1/2 in. of handle length is removed during assembly.
• Meets or exceeds ASME B107.400-2018 Reaffirmed 2023.
