Buy Hammers, Mallets & Axes in Singapore

Striking tools are designed to deliver controlled force for different applications. Each type of hammer or mallet has a specific head shape, weight, and material that determines how force is applied to the workpiece.

These tools are commonly used for:
• Construction and renovation work
• Carpentry and woodworking
• Metal fabrication and workshops
• Demolition and heavy-duty tasks
• Landscaping and outdoor maintenance

Using the correct hammer or mallet improves productivity while reducing damage to tools and materials.

Claw Hammers for Carpentry & General Use

A claw hammer is one of the most commonly used hand tools. It features a flat striking face for driving nails and a curved claw for removing them.

Claw hammers are ideal for:
• Carpentry and woodworking
• Furniture assembly
• Home renovation projects
• General household repairs

In Singapore, claw hammers are widely used by DIY homeowners and contractors for daily maintenance and renovation work.

Ball Pein Hammers for Metalwork & Engineering

A ball pein hammer is designed for metalworking applications. It has a flat face for striking and a rounded pein used for shaping metal, riveting, and peening.

Ball pein hammers are commonly used for:
• Metal fabrication
• Engineering and mechanical work
• Riveting and shaping metal
• Workshop and industrial tasks

These hammers are essential tools in workshops and industrial environments where metalwork is involved.

Sledge Hammers for Heavy-Duty & Demolition Work

A sledge hammer delivers high-impact force and is used for heavy-duty tasks. Its large, weighted head makes it suitable for breaking materials and driving large objects.

Sledge hammers are suitable for:
• Demolition and construction
• Breaking concrete and masonry
• Driving stakes and posts
• Heavy industrial applications

Sledge hammers are commonly used on construction sites and renovation projects across Singapore.

Rubber Mallets for Controlled & Non-Marking Strikes

A rubber mallet provides controlled force without damaging surfaces. Unlike metal hammers, rubber mallets absorb impact and reduce surface marking.

Rubber mallets are ideal for:
• Tile and flooring installation
• Furniture assembly
• Aligning components
• Delicate or finished surfaces

Rubber mallets are widely used in workshops, carpentry, and interior installation work.

Mallets for Assembly & Precision Work

In addition to rubber mallets, general mallets are used where controlled striking is required. They are commonly used for woodworking, fitting components, and alignment tasks.

Mallets are suitable for:
• Woodworking joints
• Assembly tasks
• Light shaping and adjustment
• Workshop and craft work

Mallets allow precise control while minimising damage to workpieces.

Axes for Cutting & Outdoor Applications

An axe is designed for cutting, splitting, and chopping wood. Axes are commonly used for landscaping, gardening, and outdoor maintenance.

Axes are used for:
• Chopping firewood
• Tree and branch cutting
• Outdoor and garden maintenance
• Construction and site preparation

In Singapore, axes are commonly used for landscaping and outdoor works rather than large-scale logging.

Choosing the Right Hammer, Mallet or Axe

Selecting the correct tool depends on the task:
• Use a claw hammer for nails and carpentry
• Choose a ball pein hammer for metalwork
• Use a sledge hammer for demolition
• Select a rubber mallet for non-marking tasks
• Use an axe for cutting and chopping wood

Matching the tool to the job ensures better results and safer operation.
