900-WH-20 - Best Welds WH-20 Cone & Chisel Chipping Hammer with Wood Handle

Reliable Slag Removal for Every Welder

The Best Welds WH-20 Cone & Chisel Chipping Hammer is an essential hand tool designed to meet the everyday needs of professional welders and metal fabricators. When it comes to Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) or Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), removing the protective slag coating after a pass is a critical step in inspecting the weld and preparing for subsequent passes. The WH-20 is engineered to make this process quick, efficient, and comfortable. Modeled directly after the popular Atlas Long-Nek WH-20, this tool offers the same reliable performance and design characteristics that industry professionals have trusted for years, but at a value that makes it an easy addition to any tool kit.

The hammer features a classic dual-head configuration: a sharp cone on one side and a wide chisel on the other. This versatility allows the user to tackle different types of slag deposits without switching tools. The cone end is perfect for breaking up stubborn, thick slag or getting into tight corners, while the chisel end excels at scraping away broad sections of debris and cleaning the weld toe. The tool is balanced to provide a solid impact with every swing, minimizing the effort required to clean a workpiece. Furthermore, the wooden handle is a standout feature for comfort; unlike metal handles that can transmit harsh vibrations directly to the hand, the wood construction naturally dampens shock, reducing fatigue during long shifts. Whether you are a student learning the trade or a seasoned veteran in the field, the Best Welds WH-20 provides the durability and functionality required for high-quality surface preparation.

Investing in the WH-20 means equipping yourself with a tool that is built to last. Its robust construction ensures it can handle the rough environment of a welding shop, from high heat to accidental drops. It serves as a dependable primary tool or an excellent backup for mobile welding rigs, ensuring you are always ready to clean and inspect your work with precision.
