Hammers FAQ

Does the Hammer Depot always have hammers in stock?

Goto SINOTOOLS to know more.

Yes. We have large stocks of hammers available in North America and in Europe. We have many different brands and sizes of hammers both new and used. If you are looking for a specific hammer brand and model that we do not have we will try our best to find one for you and offer to in used checked tested condition or rebuilt condition.

Why are some used hammers more expensive than some new hammers?

Good quality hammers command and get a better price. Lower quality hammers are of course cheaper.

There are several low priced hammers on the market offering long warranties. Why is this and can you offer me such a hammer?

Yes, we do offer such hammers also. Please see our Magnatek range of hammers with three year manufacturers warranty that we just pass onto you our customer. The long warranties are mainly an eye-catching sales gimmick. The extended warranty usually covers only those parts that generally do not fail for many years anyway. The cheaper, not so good quality hammers tend to offer these gimmick warranties. As well as low-value limited warranties, many of the cheaper brands exaggerate the ft lbs class power of their hammers. As a general rule with many things, if the price is cheap so is the quality!

What warranties does the Hammer Depot offer?

The Hammer Depot offers warranties on rebuilt hammers. We offer comfort warranties on used hammers. On new hammers, we pass on the warranty offered by the manufacturer. The warranty specifics depend on the brand of hammer.

It&#;s all rather confusing. What hammer do I need? What energy class do I require?

Tell us all about your carrier, typical job application, expected hours of use per year and your budget and we will recommend and narrow down various brands and options for you to choose from.

Hammer prices seem to vary a great deal, why is this?

Buying a hammer is not like buying a car. When buying a car, the price has much to do with the year and the model of the car. When buying a hammer, much that determines the price is its condition. Hammers can be rebuilt and brought into very good serviceable condition. A 10 year old hammer that has been totally rebuilt can be worth a lot more money than the same brand and model of hammer that&#;s only two years old and is in pretty bad shape because it may need a lot of money spent on it to bring it up to good shape. Pricing also has much to do with brand and model. A good quality rebuilt hammer can be worth a lot more money than a cheap quality brand new hammer with an extended but low cover warranty.

Sometimes we see a hammer at a very special price. Why are these hammers at a very special price?

Sometimes we obtain bankrupt stock parts and hammers. We can offer these at special prices. Most of the hammers we offer are owned and stocked by ourselves, however, occasionally a customer will ask us to sell his hammer quickly under distress conditions to generate cash. Distress sale hammers are usually sold fast and at special prices.

I purchased a ft lbs class hammer from a local dealer and it&#;s working on a job where there are other hammers. There is another ft lbs class hammer working on the job site next to my hammer and he is producing between 30 to 40% more output. His hammer just seems so much more powerful than mine. Why is this so?

Yes, this does and can happen. You need to make sure your hammer is correctly plumbed with the correct pressures and flows. Also, check hammer adjustments and nitrogen pressures. Check to make sure the tool bit you have fitted in your hammer is actually the correct bit for your brand and model of hammer. If your hammer is still not performing as well as the competition, it may well be that the foot lbs rating on your hammer has been grossly overstated. Many manufactures of cheaper hammer try to make their hammers more attractive by overating the ft lbs class.

I prefer to purchase an American or Canadian built hydraulic hammer. Can you sell me a good one?

This is a tough request. There used to be a time when there were good hammers built here at home. Unfortunately, like most things, much has changed. Over the last twenty years or so, many of the so called well known &#;American Brands&#; have actually been built overseas either entirely or the guts of the hammer, the power cells, have been imported and placed in the outer casings which are just of simple steel fabrication.

My excavator is already plumbed can I use this for a hydraulic hammer?

You may be able to use all or most of your existing plumbing to run a hydraulic hammer. Please call us and we can discuss with you what you have and what modification you may need to make if necessary.

When you quote me for a hammer what does this usually include?

Used Hammers &#; The price we quote you includes the hammer, the tool bit and delivery to most destinations in Continental USA and Canada. The price does not include the plumbing kit or the mounting bracket or pin and bush kit. We do all the paperwork and the hammer will turn up at your door. You must make arrangements for off-loading the hammer at your end. If your carrier is already plumbed, we will often quote you a package price that includes: hammer, new tool bit, mounting brackets, pin and bush kits and delivery to your door. When buying a new hammer, we will often quote you a price that includes: new hammer, new tool bit, head mounting bracket and delivery to your door. We will clarify everything clearly at the point of sale. There are no hidden extras.

Are your salespersons deal commission driven?

What happens if I buy a hammer and it&#;s not doing the job I bought it for?

This depends on who you buy it from. If you buy it from The Hammer Depot, we ask you to tell us all about your carrier and the work you have in hand. We will recommend various options. Once you make a decision to buy a certain brand and model, we will run over things with you again to make sure it&#;s the correct hammer for the job. As long as the hammer is set up with the correct hydraulic parameters and it&#;s working correctly we will stand by our recommendation. If you still feel you need a bigger hammer within two weeks, we will take most hammers back and allow you to upgrade. You pay only the difference. This may not apply to special orders or special offers or some brands. We will be pleased to clarify prior to sale.

  offer prolonged guarantees with all the tools they supply. More or less, all industrial tools like hammers are more inclined to get damaged due to harsh industrial processes. Buying these tools from reputable suppliers can help you to get a long-term warranty on each product.

These are some reasons why one must select a reputable supplier. Hammers are a special category of hand tool that goes beyond aim, swing, and pound. They are better to have around, especially when you are doing a lot of chores together. So, let&#;s examine the types of industrial hammers that can make any industrial work procedure easier.

Brass Hammers

The very first category of hammers that every individual should possess is a brass hammer. Most brass hammers are a combination of brass and other alloy components. These hammers include handles of either fiberglass, hard rubber, or wood. They also can have a metal neck. The part of the brass hammer, which is made up of brass, is none other than its head. For the successful functioning of these hammers, they require a head made up of brass. These hammers are available in mini versions, too, at brass hammer suppliers in Dubai, UAE. They are made up of brass completely.

Uses

Brass hammers have several benefits, indicating their beneficial attributes for different risks. The most amazing attribute of these hammers is they are non-sparking in nature. It makes these hammers ideal for use near fuel lines. Most auto repair technicians use these hammers because they don&#;t create sparks. Those technicians often swing brass hammers when they are functioning on the following.

• Struts 

• Pinions

• Tie rods

• Transmission flanges

• Wheel bearings

• Wheel hub removals

These hammers are widely used in metal fabrication. Brass is softer than steel and thus doesn&#;t damage metal work pieces while shaping, making these hammers an ideal choice for several metalworkers. These hammers are also used with punches, chisels, and chasing tools. Since brass is softer, it doesn&#;t harm the hammerhead like other metals.

Rubber Mallet

As the name suggests, rubber mallets are mallets that include rubber heads. These rubber heads are bigger in shape and size than the ball peen hammers and other standard mallets. Most of the rubber mallets look like sledgehammer heads. Though rubber mallets may look like sledgehammers, their purpose is completely different. Buy high-quality rubber mallets from any torque wrench supplier in Dubai, UAE.

Use

 

The wood industry is the sector in which these mallets are used on a large scale. Most woodworkers use these mallets to tighten the wooden parts apart or together. Since the heads of these mallets are made of rubber, they won&#;t create any damage or dent to the wood you&#;re using. Hence, these mallets are ideal for those who want their woodwork to look great.

Woodworkers also like these mallets. Though they have soft heads, they can hit chisels with wooden, metal, or plastic handles without damaging them. This beneficial feature makes them invaluable hammer tools. Contact any helicoil thread repair kit suppliers in Dubai, UAE, to buy effective rubber mallets.

Dead-Blow Hammer

Searching for a unique-looking specialty speciality hammer tool? Look no further than dead-blow hammers. Also known as dead-blow mallets, these hammers have a hollow head. The heads contain a particular amount of lead shot, sand shot, or steel shot. The handles of these hammers are rubber-coated to lessen the shock on the user&#;s hand. 

Use

Dead-blow hammers serve the same purposes as rubber mallets and brass hammers. The unique heads and rubber coatings help create a soft blow on the object. In the automotive sector, these hammers are needed to install and dismantle parts without denting them. Apart from the automotive sector, these hammers find their uses in woodworking, hydraulic machinery, and other sectors.
