Schmith paving hammers - essential when laying paving stones
Pavinghammers are indispensable tools when laying paving blocks, paving slabs, natural stone or other types of materials used in the construction of driveways, paths and sidewalks. Hammers are used to adjust and set individual paving elements, as well as to level out irregularities after the initial laying of these elements.
The use of the appropriate type of obuch makes the paving ham mer reduces the risk of damage to the edges and surface of the material being worked on, which is very important, as it allows to achieve an aesthetic and durable end result.
Types of paving hammers
Different models of paving hammers can differ from each other in weight, handle, as well as the material from which the face is made. The most common types of paving hammers are:
- Rubber p aving hammer - this is the most common and versatile type of paving hammer. The shank made of rubber perfectly cushions the impact, and also prevents the chipping of paving stones. Rubber hammers come in different hardnesses, which allows you to choose the right model for the type and hardness of the material being laid.
- Polyurethane paving ham mer - hammers made of polyurethane are most often characterized by their construction, combining the face with the handle as a single, inseparable structure. They are characterized by high strength and abrasion resistance, since polyurethane is a hard material. Polyurethane hammers allow you to hit the parts firmly without the risk of bouncing off the surface, while not damaging it.
- Nylon p aving hammer - made ofnylon , paving hammers are characterized by very high hardness, which makes them ideal for working with very hard materials, such as natural stone or concrete slabs.
Rubber paving hammers, as well as nylon paving hammers, can have wooden handles, made of hard, ash or beech wood, or fiberglass handles, made of very strong, reinforced fiberglass.
Sizes and applications of paving hammers
Paving hammers come in a variety of sizes and weights, allowing the tool to be perfectly matched to the specific type of work being performed and the size of the materials being laid. The weight of the hammer translates into the force of impact with it, which is why they can be divided into three categories, such as:
- Lightweight paving hammer - usually weighs from 400g to 600g. It is designed for precision work, correction of small parts and work in hard-to-reach places. The low weight of these hammers allows for a high degree of control when hitting and laying out the elements.
- Standard paving hammer - the standard, most popular hammers weigh from 800g to 1200g. They are characterized by high versatility and are an ideal compromise between impact force and weight, affecting working comfort and fatigue.
- Heavy paving ham mer - paving hammer 1.5kg, as well as heavier variants of these tools, are designed for the most demanding work, such as laying paving slabs, natural stones and curbs. The high weight of the hammers affects the pounding force of the paved elements.
