Product Information

Full details

The Facom 200C.40 is a professional-grade engineers riveting hammer engineered for technicians and metalworkers who require high durability and precision in their workshop tasks. It excels in bending, pointing, and straightening metal, offering an ergonomic, shock-absorbing handle that significantly reduces user fatigue during prolonged operation; however, it is specifically optimized for riveting and metalwork, so those requiring a general-purpose framing hammer may find its weight distribution specialized for a different type of strike.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the handle replaceable?

No, the head is permanently bonded with epoxy resin for safety and stability.

Can this hammer be used for woodworking?

While it can be used for light tasks, it is specifically optimized for metalworking and riveting applications.

How do I clean the hammer if it gets oily?

The handle is resistant to workshop chemicals and can be cleaned with mild soapy water or standard degreasers.

What is the primary benefit of the graphite core?

The graphite core provides superior structural strength and acts as a dampener to absorb vibration.

Is this hammer safe to use for heavy demolition?

This tool is designed for precision metalwork. Heavy demolition may exceed its intended design parameters.

Troubleshooting

Head feels slightly loose

Check the epoxy bond for cracks; if damage is detected, discontinue use as the head cannot be replaced.

Handle grip is slippery

Clean the elastomer surface with a degreaser or mild soap to restore the grip properties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption reduces repetitive strain
  • High-durability handle construction
  • Secure, ergonomic non-slip grip
  • Head-to-handle connection is highly stable

Cons

  • Specialized for metalwork rather than general construction
  • May be heavier than wood-handled alternatives
  • Not intended for heavy demolition tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The hammer requires no assembly as it comes pre-attached with a permanent epoxy bond. To maintain the tool, simply wipe the head and handle with a clean, dry cloth after use. If exposed to heavy oil or chemical buildup, a mild detergent and water solution can be used, as the materials are chemically resistant. Always store the hammer in a dry location to prevent surface oxidation on the steel head. Before use, perform a quick visual inspection to ensure the head is secure and there are no cracks in the grip surface.
