A new range of hammers and axes is now available from retailers throughout South Africa.
The tools have jacketed graphite handles and machine-curved, highly polished steel heads and claws. Made with the use of new forging technology, they are equipped with profiled, drop-forged and heat-treated heads.
The claw hammers have a sharpened claw aimed at maximising nail pulling force, a magnetic nail starter for one-hand operation and a graphite core which seeks to provide durability and resilience.
The graphite camping axe has a 1 588 g head and is equipped with a profiled, forged and heat-treated head to assist in delivering a powerful strike.
The tools are ergonomically designed for comfort, with the textured blue rubber grips intended for a firm hold while reducing shock, vibrations and slipping.
The Real Steel range was launched by Vermont Sales and is aimed at trade retailers, workshops, do-it-yourself enthusiasts and home owners.
