Halder hammers and hammer parts

Reasons to buy Halder products

Halder is ideal for professionals and DIY enthusiasts looking for a hammer tailored to their specific needs. Thanks to SIMPLEX’s modular design, you can build a hammer that suits your work: gentler on delicate surfaces, more robust when you need extra impact, or a combination of both. This is particularly useful for furniture makers, especially if you work with different materials. Wear parts such as caps or handles can be replaced individually, meaning your tools last longer and you don’t have to throw as many away.

Halder series

SIMPLEX

SIMPLEX is Halder’s best-known series and is all about flexibility. The hammer consists of a housing, a handle and two interchangeable striking faces. You choose the material of the striking face based on your application: for example, TPE-soft or superplastic for striking delicate materials, rubber for better grip and shock absorption, nylon for wear resistance, and aluminium for specific applications. This series also includes variants designed for heavier-duty work, such as splitting applications, which utilise extra-robust components and a side insert.

SECURAL

SECURAL is a dead-blow hammer designed for working in corners or along a wall or floor.

SUPERCRAFT

SUPERCRAFT is a dead-blow series in which the head is filled with steel balls. This directs more energy into the strike while minimising energy lost to rebound. In practice, this means: working more calmly, less strain on the hands and arms, and a more consistent result when typing repeatedly. This series is often chosen for workshop use and assembly work involving prolonged use of a hammer.

BASEPLEX

BASEPLEX is a practical series of soft-face hammers offering excellent value for money. The series is designed for general use where you want a clean, controlled cut without damaging the workpiece. Materials such as nylon or cellulose acetate are commonly used here: they are strong, wear-resistant and suitable for everyday tasks in and around the workshop.

Halder product types

Halder plastic hammers (soft-face)

Plastic hammers are ideal for woodworking, as they allow you to tap parts into position without leaving any marks. Halder offers a range of hammer head materials, such as TPE-soft, TPE-mid, rubber, superplastic and nylon. This allows you to choose between extra soft and gentle on the workpiece, or firmer and more wear-resistant. This type of hammer is suitable for assembly, fitting, veneering and the precise alignment of parts.

Halder dead-blow hammers

Dead-blow hammers are designed to make work more comfortable and precise, particularly when performing many repetitions. Thanks to the construction (for example, with internal padding), you experience less rebound. This gives you more control, reduces fatigue and often results in a neater finish. The range includes, among others, the SUPERCRAFT and SECURAL models.

Halder splitting mauls and splitting wedges

Halder has further expanded its modular SIMPLEX system for splitting wood with options for using an axe head and a steel splitting wedge. These can be easily combined with the rear section of the splitting maul.

Halder hammer parts

A major advantage of Halder is that many parts are available separately. Their range includes individual housings, handles and striking faces made from various materials such as TPE-soft, rubber, superplastic and nylon. This allows you to maintain your existing hammer or put together a new configuration without having to buy a completely new hammer.

History of Halder
