OVERVIEW

Essential Cleanup for Every Welder

Every welder knows that laying the bead is only half the job; cleaning it up is where the finished product truly shines. The Techniweld RLH-1 Chipping Hammer is your go-to solution for knocking off slag and spatter quickly and easily. If you are burning stick electrodes or running flux-core wire, a reliable chipping hammer is mandatory. The RLH-1 stands out because of its smart "Econo" design that gives you professional-grade features without breaking the bank. It is tough, effective, and built to take a beating day in and day out.

Save Your Hands with the Spring Handle

Let's face it: hammering on cold slag can be jarring. Standard solid-handle hammers transfer every bit of that shock straight up your arm, leading to sore wrists and fatigue. The RLH-1 solves this with its heavy-duty coil spring handle. This ingenious design absorbs the impact shock before it reaches your hand, making the tool much more comfortable to use. You can chip away at long welds without feeling like your hand is vibrating for hours afterward. It also features a handy loop at the end, so you can hang it right on your welding cart or belt.

Cone and Chisel Power

This hammer features the classic and most requested head configuration: a sharp cone on one end and a flat chisel on the other. Use the cone point to dig into those tight spots or to crack the initial layer of heavy slag. Flip it over to the chisel side to scrape the bead clean and remove surface spatter. The head is heat-treated for extra hardness, so it stays sharp longer, and it is welded directly to the handle shaft—no more worrying about the head flying off in the middle of a job. Grab an RLH-1 and keep your welds looking professional.

FAQ

The spring handle absorbs the shock and vibration generated when striking hard surfaces, reducing hand fatigue and the risk of injury during prolonged use.

No, the head is permanently welded to the shaft to ensure safety and durability, so it cannot be replaced individually.

The head is made from drop-forged, heat-treated steel, designed to maintain hardness and resist deformation.

While it can physically remove slag from stainless steel, using a carbon steel hammer on stainless steel can cause contamination and rust. A stainless steel chipping hammer is recommended for critical stainless work.

The cone side is used for piercing and cleaning tight corners or root passes, while the chisel side is used for scraping and cleaning flat surfaces.

The RLH-1 is a standard weight chipping hammer, typically weighing approximately 14 to 16 ounces, offering a good balance between striking force and maneuverability.

The handle is made of coiled steel spring which provides a natural grip texture; it does not have a separate rubber or plastic grip cover.

Yes, the RLH-1 is an excellent, economical choice for students and hobbyists, as well as professional welders.
