Presch Machinist Hammer Fibreglass Handle 300g - Small Hammer in Black with Rubber Handle

As a mechanical engineer - at least by profession being an ex-marine Chief Engineer - I have come from a lifestyle where hammers are an absolute essential. It's amazing just how much work on a ship involves hitting things with hammers in order to fix it.... And these range from sledge hammers to the small tool makers hammers. But, the 2lb ball peen hammer is the most used. It's the go to hitting implement used on all things immovable and plenty of tools such as ring spanners that should not be. However, in the middle of the ocean you will do what's necessary.. Which brings me to this delightful hand tool. It's called a machinists hammer and is in fact a version of the ball peen type being a Euro-style cross peen ideal for general overhaul use. Not too heavy to be unwieldy but has enough weight to be useful. The balance in hand is perfect and I could use this all day - which I have done at times on ships when needs must. The handle is a fibreglass reinforced type that is easy to hold and is light, leaving the mass at the top for hitting with. The design of the hammer is to my traditional eyes fantastic. Well made and perfect to hold. There is one small thing that I do note. In my experience at the extreme end of mechanical engineering where the massive and very oily ships engines lie, after a while the man made handles on tools tend to get impregnated with oils and solvents and can be harder to hold than old fashioned wooden handles. So, in order to avoid this problem make sure that after use if you have got a fibreglass handled tool covered in heavy oil, clean it off properly before putting it away. What else? Well this is a German brand but made in China. That's why the price is bearable I guess. The quality is not an issue however as I read that Presch ensure that their tools are made to their specs and then inspected at their warehouse/design place in Germany before selling. Overall, a superb middle weight hammer for general fitting and turning work.

Perfect weight and size for my use. Nice feel and finish. Waiting to see how rubber grip on shaft holds up to oils and chemicals long-term. Have been told it's identical to Halfords Advanced (few £ cheaper) except for colour on shaft. I'm pleased, Prescht not a brand I'm familiar with, but impressed.

Ideal chipping weld off

Great little tool for small jobs must recommend

Very good, very handy and nippy

Nice well made hammer for precision work (I'm using it for flattening harmonica reed rivets (with a steel drift). I might have liked a slightly shorter handle, as accuracy is important, time will tell if I master it OK. A small niggle, there are sticky marks left after removing a couple of labels attached to the tool. Overall I'm happy this is the right, quality, tool for the job.

Very nice weight perfect balance

Good hammer

Il classico martello, buono il manico in resina e non in legno

Outil parfait, avec une bonne tenue de la partie en acier.

Ich habe mir den Presch Schlosserhammer (300g, mit Fiberglasstiel) für kleinere Arbeiten in Haus und Garten zugelegt – und bin rundum zufrieden! Schon beim ersten Einsatz merkt man: Hier stimmt die Qualität. Der Hammerkopf ist präzise gefertigt und sauber verarbeitet, der Stiel liegt rutschfest und ergonomisch in der Hand. Besonders positiv finde ich den Fiberglasstiel – er ist nicht nur extrem stabil, sondern absorbiert Schläge deutlich besser als herkömmliche Holzgriffe. So spürt man beim Arbeiten weniger Rückstoß. Was mir besonders gefällt: • Kompakte Größe, ideal für präzises Arbeiten auf engem Raum • Gutes Gewicht (300 g) – leicht genug für Kontrolle, schwer genug für Wirkung • Stabiler Fiberglasgriff mit Gummierung – liegt auch mit Handschuhen sicher • Der Hammerkopf ist fest verbunden, nichts wackelt oder löst sich • Ideal für Hobby, Heimwerken, Möbelmontage, kleinere Metallarbeiten und Gartenprojekte Ich habe bereits Nägel eingeschlagen, Dübel gesetzt und kleinere Metallarbeiten erledigt – der Hammer macht alles mit und sieht auch nach mehreren Einsätzen noch aus wie neu. Fazit: Ein handlicher, robuster Hammer mit top Griffkomfort und toller Verarbeitung. Ideal für Heimwerker, die Qualität zu einem fairen Preis suchen. Presch hat hier ein starkes Werkzeug abgeliefert – klare Empfehlung!

Buena calidad-
