Scaling Hammers

Scaling Hammers

Scaling hammers are handheld tools commonly used in various industries for the removal of rust, scale, paint, and other debris from surfaces, especially metal surfaces. These hammers are specifically designed with a chisel-like or pick-like head, featuring sharp and hardened points that effectively chip away and dislodge unwanted materials from the surface being worked on. Scaling hammers are particularly valuable in metal fabrication, shipbuilding, construction, and maintenance applications where surfaces need preparation before painting, welding, or further processing. They come in different sizes and designs, including pneumatic and handheld variants, to cater to various scaling tasks. These versatile tools help improve surface adhesion, ensuring a clean and properly prepared base for subsequent operations, thus contributing to the longevity and integrity of metal structures and equipment. Proper safety gear, such as eye protection and gloves, should be worn while using scaling hammers to prevent injury from flying debris.
