RLH-1 - Economy Spring Handle Chipping Hammer - Cone and Chisel

Professional Slag Removal Tool

The Techniweld RLH-1 Chipping Hammer is an essential accessory for any welding operation involving Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) or Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW). Designed with the operator's comfort and efficiency in mind, this tool addresses the common challenge of hand fatigue associated with repetitive impact tasks. The defining feature of the RLH-1 is its specialized spring handle. Constructed from high-tension steel coiled into a spring, the handle acts as a shock absorber, dissipating the kinetic energy generated when the hammer strikes hardened slag. This design significantly reduces the vibration transmitted to the welder's wrist and arm, allowing for longer periods of work with less discomfort.

Durable Construction

Durability is paramount in industrial environments, and the RLH-1 is built to withstand rigorous use. The head is drop-forged and heat-treated, a process that aligns the grain structure of the steel to maximize strength and hardness. This ensures that the chisel and cone points maintain their edges and do not deform or "mushroom" easily upon impact. Unlike screw-on heads that can loosen over time due to vibration, the head of the RLH-1 is permanently welded to the shaft, providing a secure and safe connection that guarantees the tool remains intact even under heavy impact loads.

Versatile Head Design

The dual-head configuration offers versatility for various cleaning scenarios. The tapered cone side is precision-ground to penetrate tight corners, crevices, and root passes, effectively breaking up stubborn slag deposits. Conversely, the flat chisel side is ideal for clearing larger, flat surface areas and scraping away spatter. This combination allows the welder to clean the entire weldment efficiently without switching tools. Whether used in a heavy fabrication shop, on a pipeline, or in a home garage, the RLH-1 delivers reliable performance and ergonomic protection.
