A. No — a chipping hammer has a specific chisel/pick profile for removing ARC weld slag. The Draper 45236 is a general fabrication hammer for forming and positioning metalwork.
A. Check the product specification for weight. Welding hammers are typically lighter than engineer's hammers, allowing one-handed use while holding the workpiece with the other hand.
A. Use caution near hot welds — always wear heat-resistant gloves. The hammer head should be metal (not rubber or plastic) to safely contact hot metal for positioning and forming.

A. At minimum you need a welding helmet or headshield (auto-darkening recommended), leather welding gauntlets, a fire-resistant apron or jacket, and steel-toe boots. For enclosed spaces, a fume extractor or respirator is essential. A welding curtain or screen protects bystanders from UV flash. Keep a fire extinguisher accessible.
A. Fibreglass and hickory handles both absorb impact shock. For light welding work, either is fine. For heavy repetitive striking, a shock-absorbing handle reduces fatigue.
