Council Tool 3 lbs. Engineer Hammer; 15 in. Straight Wooden Handle

3  lbs. engineer hammer with hickory handle.

Overview

• 3 lbs. engineer hammer with hickory handle.
• Forged tool steel head, Made in USA, with clear lacquer finish to deter rust.
• Striking face is precision machined with proper radius and chamfer (bevel), providing safer performance.
• Heat treated after machining for increased depth of hardness. (Turning after hardening looks more attractive (on competitor’s tools) but leaves less depth.)
• Heat treatment produces fine grain structure and Rc 45-60 (Rockwell) for safety and toughness.
• 15 in american-made hickory handle, kiln dried before turning. Eye section is then dried below 10% moisture content prior to assembly.
• Handle is hydraulically inserted into head and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge, providing a very secure mechanical bond. Approximately 1/2 in. of handle length is removed during assembly.
• Meets or exceeds ASME B107.400-2018 Reaffirmed 2023
