The Facom 202H Ball Pein Engineers Hammer is a professional-grade striking tool engineered for machinists, mechanics, and metalworkers who require high precision and reliability. Its hickory handle offers a superior balance of strength and shock absorption, making it ideal for repetitive shop tasks; however, users should note that the organic wood construction requires periodic inspection for wear and humidity-related changes compared to composite-handled alternatives.

The 202H is a professional-grade tool with a 26 mm head size designed for specific mechanical tasks; please refer to the product markings for the specific grammage.
While the head is securely fixed, professional workshops can replace the handle if it becomes damaged, provided the new handle is fitted correctly with the necessary wedges.
No, the 202H is a precision engineers hammer. Heavy demolition can damage the handle and head alignment.
The hammer is compliant with NF ISO 15601, ISO 15601, and ASME B107.400, which are recognized international standards for industrial striking tools.
The ball end is designed for peening, riveting, or shaping metal surfaces where a flat surface would be ineffective.
Inspect the steel wedge. If it has worked itself loose, it may need to be driven further into the wood or replaced if the eye of the head has enlarged.
Lightly sand the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a thin layer of boiled linseed oil to nourish the wood fibers.
There is no complex setup required; the hammer is ready to use straight out of the box. To maintain the integrity of your Facom 202H, store the tool in a dry, climate-controlled environment to prevent the hickory wood from swelling or shrinking. Before every use, inspect the area where the head meets the handle to ensure the steel wedge is tight and there are no signs of wood cracking. If the handle becomes splintered, it should be sanded down and treated with a light coating of boiled linseed oil to maintain the wood fibers. Avoid using the hammer as a pry bar, as this can place lateral stress on the handle that it was not designed to withstand.
