Types of hammers, sledgehammers and chisels

  • Demolition sledgehammers: such as the Bellota 5200 sledgehammer, with a forged steel head, PEFC beech handle and six weights from 2 to 8 kg.
  • Club hammers: for chasing walls with a chisel or cold chisel, like the Spanish club hammer 5308, with a head of 700 g, 1 kg or 1.3 kg.
  • Chisels and points: the octagonal chisel 5825 is made of chrome vanadium steel and comes in eleven sizes from 200 to 400 mm.
  • Mason's picks and pickaxes: the shovel-hammer mason's pick 5931 chips off plaster and mortar, and the pickaxe 5001CM breaks stone and digs trenches with a 2 or 2.5 kg head.
  • Carpenter's and formwork hammers: the carpenter's hammer 8002 drives and pulls nails with its claw and comes in four sizes, from 13 to 24 oz.
  • Rubber mallets: the rubber mallet 8053 beds tiles without damaging the ceramic.

How to choose hammers, sledgehammers and chisels

  • By the job: sledgehammer for demolition, club hammer with chisel for chasing, claw hammer for driving and pulling nails.
  • Head weight: more weight gives more striking energy but also more fatigue, which is why many models come in several weights.
  • Handle: PEFC beech absorbs part of the vibration; carbon fibre is stronger and has non-slip grooves.
  • Hardened or unhardened head: when striking hardened steel or treated parts, unhardened versions reduce the risk of chipping.
  • Material being struck: use rubber for ceramic, forged steel for stone and concrete.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a sledgehammer and a club hammer?

A sledgehammer is a demolition tool with a 2 to 8 kg head and a 60 to 90 cm handle, while a club hammer is shorter and lighter and is used to strike the chisel when chasing walls. In the Bellota range, club hammers have a handle of about 27 cm.

What sledgehammer weight do I need?

It depends on how hard the job is: more weight means more energy per blow, but also more effort. The Bellota 5200 sledgehammer comes in six weights, from 2 to 8 kg, so you can choose to suit the job.

What do you use to chase a wall?

A club hammer and a chisel or cold chisel. The Bellota 5825 octagonal chisel has a flat edge and an octagonal section that does not turn in the hand, and its treated body reduces vibration when striking.

Wooden or carbon fibre handle?

Both work: beech is comfortable and absorbs part of the vibration, while carbon fibre is stronger and more ergonomic, with side grooves that improve grip. Many Bellota models come in both versions.

What is an unhardened sledgehammer or club hammer for?

It is for striking hardened or treated steel parts without damaging them. With its unhardened head, it reduces the risk of chipping and protects the surface when fitting parts in the workshop and during assembly.
