0193305001 - ESAB Chipping Hammer with Spring Handle

Professional Grade ESAB Chipping Hammer for Precision Cleaning

Achieve pristine weld surfaces with the ESAB Scaling Hammer (0193305001), a heavy-duty chipping tool designed for the professional welder. In processes like Shielded Metal Arc Welding (Stick) and Flux-Cored Arc Welding, the creation of a slag coating is a natural byproduct that protects the molten weld pool. However, once the weld cools, that slag must be removed completely to inspect the weld quality and prepare the surface for painting or further passes. The ESAB Scaling Hammer is the industry-standard solution for this critical step, combining rugged durability with operator-focused design.

Engineered for Durability and Performance
The head of the hammer is forged from hardened steel, specifically heat-treated to resist mushrooming and dulling. This ensures that the sharp cone point can effectively crack stubborn slag inclusions, while the chisel edge remains effective for scraping and scaling operations. The black oxide finish provides a layer of resistance against rust and corrosion, ensuring the tool maintains its integrity even in humid or damp shop environments.

Reduced Vibration and Fatigue
Operator comfort is a key factor in maintaining safety and efficiency. The ESAB Scaling Hammer features a classic coil spring handle, a design proven to reduce the transfer of impact shock to the user's skeletal system. Unlike solid handle hammers that transmit every strike directly to the wrist and elbow, the spring handle flexes slightly, absorbing the energy of the blow. This feature is particularly beneficial during extensive cleanup operations on large structural projects. The handle is also designed to provide a secure grip, even when wearing heavy welding gloves, preventing slippage and ensuring precise strikes.

Versatile Application
This tool is not just for slag; it is also highly effective for removing rust, scale, and other surface contaminants prior to welding. The pointed end concentrates force to break up heavy scale, while the chisel end can be used to scrape away debris. Whether you are working on pipelines, structural steel, or general repairs, the ESAB Scaling Hammer 0193305001 delivers the performance required to ensure your welds meet the highest standards of inspection.
