LPHHC - Lenco LPH-HC Chipping Hammer with High-Impact Yellow Handle

Heavy-Duty Slag Removal with the Lenco LPH-HC

In the demanding world of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) and flux-cored processes, post-weld cleanup is a critical step that requires tools built to withstand abuse. The Lenco LPH-HC Chipping Hammer is designed specifically for professional welders who require reliability and durability in their hand tools. This hammer features a robust head configuration combining a sharp wedge (chisel) and a pointed cone, allowing operators to effectively remove slag from long weld beads as well as tight, hard-to-reach pockets.

The standout feature of the LPH-HC is its high-impact yellow thermoplastic handle. Traditional wooden handles are prone to drying out, cracking, and eventually breaking under the stress of daily impact. Metal spring handles, while durable, often transmit excessive vibration to the user's hand and can pinch gloves. Lenco's thermoplastic solution bridges this gap by offering a handle that is virtually indestructible under normal shop conditions. It resists oil, grease, and moisture, ensuring that the grip remains secure and the structural integrity of the tool is maintained over years of service.

The forged steel heads are heat-treated to hold their edge longer, reducing the frequency of sharpening required. The wedge end is perfect for chipping away long lines of slag, while the cone end excels at picking out inclusions or cleaning up start/stop points. The bright yellow color of the handle is not just for aesthetics; it serves a practical safety purpose, making the tool highly visible on a cluttered workbench or dim shop floor, reducing the likelihood of loss or tripping hazards.

Key Benefits for Industrial Use

• Superior Durability: The molded plastic handle outlasts wood and resists environmental degradation.
• Shock Absorption: Designed to dampen the impact vibration, protecting the welder's wrist and hand.
• Versatile Cleaning: Dual-head design handles various slag removal scenarios efficiently.
• Maintenance Free: Requires no handle replacements or special care beyond standard cleaning.

Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, on a pipeline, or in a maintenance garage, the Lenco LPH-HC Chipping Hammer provides the balance, strength, and longevity needed to keep your welds clean and your workflow efficient.
