This does not mean that are either superior or inferior, after all, they virtually do the same job. They are simply the Japanese approach, built upon hundreds of years of tool making tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Tonkachi Square Genno Hammer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tonkachi Square Genno has a squarish copper jacketed steel head with rounded edges and both a flat and domed hardened face. The handle is made from beautiful White Oak. The weight of this hammer means it is great for all types of striking. Whether it is a chisel, a nail or a plane, this hammer is your best workshop friend. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCopper jacketed head\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tonkachi Square hammer weighs 300g and is jacketed with copper. This finish reduces the chance of damage to the metal tool being struck - it also reduces the chance of sparking. This feature is particularly important when using the hammer to adjust planes or when striking steel hooped chisels. The faces of the head are hardened, whereas the body of the head is unhardened. The softer steel allows the hammer to absorb the shock created when striking, further protecting the tool being struck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo striking faces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne striking face is flat the other is slightly domed. The flat face can be used for a broad range of work in particular striking chisels and adjusting tools. The domed face’s common purpose is to compress the surfaces of joints made from softer timbers before final fitting. “Killing” the joint by hammering allows for a very tight fit. The domed face is also excellent for the final setting of a nail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRolled edges\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long edges of the Tonkachi Square hammer head are rolled and softened. This feature makes these hammer heads increasingly compact and removes any sharp edges that may interfere with or damage the work. Even if you are working in the tinniest of spaces, or tapping the most expensive of plane blades, your hammer won’t be the one who creates a disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhite Oak Handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle of the Tonkachi Square Genno is made from beautiful White Oak. The handle is smooth and feels great in the hand. Overall, this hammer is nicely balanced allowing for multiple grip positions depending on the work at hand. The soft steel hammer head absorbs the shock, so the striking force is not transferred to the handle. The hammer head are securely fitted using a timber wedge and steel wedge plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVersatility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese hammers are a pleasure to use. With their compact heads and variety of designs, they are useful in all woodworking situations. If you are tapping in a fine wedge, adjusting a plane, chopping joints or nailing, there is a Japanese hammer for the task. The reality is that you will end up owning three, a kit tuned to the work you do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJapanese Chisels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd let’s not forget Japanese Chisels. Most varieties of Japanese bench chisels are fitted with a steel hoop so they may be used with a steel hammer. This is different to the Western tradition of using a heavy wooden mallet. Using a steel hammer has distinct advantages, in particular the agility and preciseness one can achieve when working. From the tinniest tap to the heaviest blow, working with a steel head Japanese hammer provides you with incredible control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Japanese hammers are a high-quality product, 100% made in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\" data-tab-name=\"Specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSusa Selsakusho\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 years limited\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHammer head material\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForged steel with hardened faces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper jacket finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHammer head weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e300g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHammer head dimensions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 x 27x 85mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle material\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Oak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e300mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e327mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Susa Seisakusho","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49840162308263,"sku":"J-003013","price":61.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/7287\/4151\/files\/J-003013-HERO-01.jpg?v=1784011345","url":"https:\/\/www.timbecon.com.au\/products\/hammer-square-munetomo-300g-bronze","provider":"Timbecon Pty Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
