Marreta de cruz Cimco 130808

The Cimco 130808 cross-peen hammer is a precision hand tool designed for controlled striking in metalworking and carpentry. The tool combines a 500 g forged steel head with a traditional wooden handle to deliver balance and tactile feedback for shaping, riveting, and light demolition tasks. The cross-peen face provides a narrow striking edge that directs force along a line, making it suitable for starting nails, forming metal, and working in confined areas where a flat-face hammer would be less effective.

Advantages

The durable steel head offers consistent mass and resilience under repeated impacts, while the wooden handle absorbs vibration and provides a comfortable grip for extended use. The 500 g weight of the head gives a good compromise between power and control, allowing precise blows without excessive fatigue. The cross-peen geometry concentrates force for controlled metal displacement and accurate nail starting, and the compact overall design makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Metal shaping and forging tasks requiring directional strikes
• Starting and setting small nails and rivets
• Sheet metal work and light panel adjustments
• Carpentry tasks needing precise tapping or alignment
• General workshop use where controlled impact is required

Key specifications

• Head material: forged steel
• Head weight: 500 g
• Head style: cross-peen (narrow peen opposite flat face)
• Handle material: wood
• Tool type: hand cross-peen hammer for precision work

How to use

Grip the wooden handle near its end for maximum control and swing the hammer with a steady wrist motion appropriate to the task. Use the cross-peen side to concentrate force along a line when shaping metal, stretching, or starting nails; use the flat face for general striking and finishing. Position the workpiece securely before striking and apply progressive force rather than full-power blows when performing delicate tasks. Inspect the head-to-handle connection before use to ensure a secure fit.

Recommendations

Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent handle deterioration. For metalworking, wear appropriate eye protection and gloves. Replace the wooden handle if it becomes cracked or loose, and avoid using the tool on hardened surfaces that could deform the head.
