Product Information

Full details

The Facom 200C.32PF is a high-performance mechanic's hammer designed for professional tradespeople and automotive technicians who require maximum durability and vibration control during heavy-duty strike applications. Built with a robust three-material construction, it offers excellent balance and a secure head-to-handle connection that prevents detachment; however, users should note that its specialized ergonomic design is optimized specifically for precision workshop tasks rather than general-purpose demolition work.

FAQs

Is the head of the 200C.32PF replaceable?

No, the head is designed as a non-detachable, permanent component to ensure maximum safety and durability.

Can this hammer be used for woodworking?

While it can be used for general tasks, its design is optimized for mechanic and engineering work, which may be overkill for light woodworking.

What is the primary material of the handle?

The handle features a graphite core for strength, a polypropylene layer for damping, and an elastomer outer grip.

Is the handle resistant to hydraulic fluid?

Yes, the elastomer grip is specifically designed to be resistant to common workshop solvents and automotive fluids.

How does the weight balance compare to wooden handles?

The graphite and polypropylene construction provides a more consistent, centered weight distribution than typical wood, which can vary in grain density.

Troubleshooting

Grip feels slippery after exposure to grease.

Clean the handle with a mild degreaser and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth to restore the tacky texture of the elastomer.

Surface of the hammer face shows minor marks.

This is normal wear for professional use. If burrs appear, you may carefully file them flush to maintain striking accuracy.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior head retention due to epoxy resin bonding
  • Excellent vibration absorption reduces arm strain
  • Resistant to common workshop chemicals and oils
  • Balanced design allows for high-precision work

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty demolition or masonry tasks
  • The specialized grip may feel different to users accustomed to traditional wood handles
  • Premium construction entails a higher cost than standard hardware store hammers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This hammer arrives ready for immediate professional use. No assembly or calibration is required. To maintain the tool's integrity, ensure you do not use it for striking hardened steel of a higher hardness rating than the hammer face itself to prevent deformation. After use, simply wipe down the elastomer handle and head with a clean, dry rag. While the material is resistant to solvents, avoiding prolonged submersion in harsh chemicals will extend the lifespan of the rubberized grip. Store the tool in a dry tool chest or hanging rack to prevent surface rust if exposed to high-humidity environments.
