Martelo Bahco 481F-500 500g cabeça de aço punho de borracha

The Bahco 481F-500 hammer is a hand tool with a 500 g forged steel head and a rubber grip designed for general-purpose construction and repair work. The compact weight and balanced profile make it suitable for controlled striking where moderate force is required. The rubber handle reduces slippage and improves handling during repetitive tasks, while the steel head offers impact resistance and edge durability.

Advantages

The steel head delivers consistent impact performance and wear resistance for repeated use. A molded rubber grip provides improved control, reduces hand fatigue and helps absorb vibration. The combination of a medium-weight head and an ergonomically shaped handle ensures good balance for both driving nails and light demolition tasks. The tool is designed for straightforward maintenance and long service life under normal workshop or site conditions.

Suitable for

• Driving finishing and common nails in wood and light framing
• Small repair jobs around the house or on site
• Carpentry tasks requiring controlled, medium-force strikes
• Light demolition, panel removal, and dismantling work

Key specifications

• Head material: forged steel for impact resistance
• Head weight: 500 grams for medium-force striking
• Handle material: rubber over molded core for grip and vibration damping
• Overall balance: designed for controlled striking and ease of handling

How to use

Hold the hammer by the rubber grip close to the end of the handle for maximum control and leverage. Position the head squarely on the nail or target surface and apply smooth, controlled swings to avoid glancing blows. For finishing work, use lighter taps near the head to increase accuracy. Inspect the head and handle before use to ensure they are secure and free from damage. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the steel head.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match the hammer weight to the task: the 500 g head is suitable for general carpentry and repair; for heavy framing choose a heavier hammer. Avoid striking hardened steel or metal surfaces with the face to prevent chipping. Regularly check the handle and head connection and replace the tool if any cracks or looseness appear.
