BETA striking tool

BETA offers this striking tool. Working on a bike often means striking or levering to remove a wheel spindle, a bearing or a part held by rust.

Why choose the right striking tool?

The benefits:

• Soft face (nylon, copper): it strikes hard without marking aluminium, spindles or painted parts.
• Dead-blow mallet: shot inside the head stops it bouncing back, so all the force goes into the part.
• Forged, hardened steel for hammers, punches and pry bars: they do not deform with use.

Why choose BETA?

BETA (Beta Utensili) is an Italian maker of professional tools founded in 1923, based in Sovico, near Milan, since 1939 and still run by the Ciceri family. The group makes its tools in its own factories in northern and central Italy.

When should you replace this tool?

A cracked or mushroomed head, a torn mallet face, a cracked or loose handle: replace the tool or the face, a metal chip or a head coming off can cause injury.

Cross-Mania tip: On aluminium, a spindle or a bearing, never strike directly with a steel hammer: use a soft-faced mallet or put a wooden or brass drift in between, and wear safety glasses.
