Rubber hammers

Rubber hammer – gentle impact for sensitive materials 

The rubber hammer is a particularly useful tool that is used in many craft areas where bending, scratching or damaging surfaces must be avoided. The rubber head, which is softer than metal, allows the rubber hammer to be used with high impact force without damaging the workpieces. It is often used in furniture assembly, when laying tiles or when working with wood and plastic to enable precise but gentle work.

Applications of the rubber hammer 

Rubber hammers are used in various areas where sensitive materials need to be processed:

• furniture assembly: For gentle fitting of parts without scratches or damage.
• tile laying: Ideal for setting or tapping tiles without breaking them.
• woodworking: For adjusting pieces of wood without scratching the surface.
• metalworking: For precise shaping and adjusting of sheets or profiles without deforming the material.
• construction and renovation: For setting components or hammering nails and dowels into walls.

Features of a rubber hammer 

Rubber hammers are available in various sizes and designs, with the rubber head usually made of soft rubber or a similar elastic material mix. The handle of the hammer can be made of wood, plastic or fiberglass and ensures comfortable handling. The head of the hammer is designed to enable strikes with high precision and without damage to the workpieces. The use of double-sided heads (one soft rubber, one harder material) also offers additional flexibility.

Care and handling of the rubber hammer 

To extend the life of a rubber hammer, the head should be checked regularly for wear. The rubber head in particular can crack or wear out over time, so it is advisable to replace the hammer if it is heavily worn. The handle should be checked regularly for cracks or splinters to ensure safety at work. A well-maintained rubber hammer ensures effective work results and enables precise work without damaging the material. The rubber hammer is a versatile tool that is indispensable in many craft areas and helps to work delicate materials with high precision.
