Marukin Kariwaku Hammer, Gold, Smooth Face, Medium Head, Straight, 450mm

A kariwaku hammer fitted with a Marukin original wooden handle. Kariwaku hammer head (smooth face), medium A carbon steel hammer head ideal for formwork (kariwaku) work on construction sites. It handles a wide range of nail driving into plywood and lumber when assembling forms for pouring concrete. The head has a slightly elongated, flared shape designed for easy handling on formwork sites. One side is the striking face for driving nails, and the other is a claw for pulling nails. The striking face has no grooves, a design that is less likely to mark the workpiece when driving nails. It is also suited to delicate site work, and is a standard type that is especially popular in the Kansai region. Straight hammer handle 450mm (natural oak) / Eye (handle tenon): 16x33mm The grip section is straight with a moderate thickness, giving a secure, confident hold. It feels as though it clings to the hand, and is designed to reduce fatigue even during long hours of work. The end of the handle has a gentle curve that prevents it from slipping out of the hand, while giving it a beautiful, refined look. The impact and transfer of force when striking are direct and easy to fine-tune, so it also handles delicate work and detailed finishing. Made of natural wood, it develops more character the more you use it. Please enjoy the individuality of natural wood, such as its grain and knots. Made in Tsubame-Sanjo Manufactured in the Tsubame-Sanjo region, world-famous as a town of metalworking.
