Martillo Bahco 481F-400 400 g con mango de fibra de vidrio

The Bahco 481F-400 hammer is a hand tool with a 400 g steel head and a fiberglass handle designed to deliver controlled impact for light-to-medium duties. The tool is intended for driving nails, light demolition, assembly and general repair tasks where a compact, balanced hammer is needed. The fiberglass handle provides vibration damping and resistance to wear, while the steel head offers predictable striking performance for repeated use.

Advantages

The combination of a 400 g forged steel head and an engineered fiberglass handle creates a balance between force and control. The fiberglass construction reduces shock transmitted to the user’s hand, improves durability compared with plain wooden handles, and resists moisture and temperature-related deformation. The compact head weight supports precise strikes and easier maneuvering in confined spaces, and the overall build is compatible with frequent professional or DIY use.

Suitable for

• Driving nails and light fastening work
• Carpentry and interior finishing
• Small demolition and disassembly tasks
• General maintenance and repair jobs

Key specifications

• Head weight: 400 grams
• Head material: forged steel
• Handle material: fiberglass
• Handle design: vibration-damping profile for improved grip
• Tool type: claw/peen hammer suitable for light-to-medium impact tasks

How to use

Grip the fiberglass handle near the end for maximum striking force or closer to the head for controlled light taps. Position the workpiece securely before striking. Use the hammer face for driving nails and the claw or peen for removing nails and performing light prying. Maintain alignment between the wrist and forearm when swinging to minimize strain and ensure effective transfer of force. Inspect the hammer before use for any visible damage to the head or handle.

Recommendations

Use protective eyewear and work gloves when operating the hammer. Avoid striking hardened steel or brittle materials with the hammer face to prevent chipping. Replace the tool if the head becomes loose or the fiberglass handle is cracked or significantly worn.
