A. The 05280000 is a medium-weight, double-ended shrinking hammer specifically designed for panel beating on slightly stretched areas of metal. It is most useful in the final stages of panel finishing when slightly stretched areas of metal are encountered.
A. The specially designed cross milled heads improve stretched areas by forcing small amounts of metal into the spaces created by the cross milling, helping to restore the panel to its correct profile.
A. The round face measures 41mm in diameter, the square face measures 38mm, the head width is 97mm, and the hammer weighs 0.425kg. Overall product dimensions are 370 x 100 x 40mm.
A. The hammer can be used on cold aluminium, but working on sheet steel will be quicker if heat is applied to the area. Sykes-Pickavant does not recommend using the same individual tool on both aluminium and steel.
A. Wherever possible, shrinking work should be carried out on the inside of the panel. This minimises the resurfacing required prior to painting.
A. The hammer is fitted as standard with a fine quality octagonal wooden shaft. The head has a tapered centre allowing the shaft to expand into it, and is secured with a double wood and steel wedge, ensuring maximum head retention and improved safety.
A. The heads are high quality investment casting alloy steel with hardened striking surfaces.
A. Yes — a replacement shaft is available under part number 05602000.
