DRAPER striking tool

DRAPER 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 DRAPER?

Draper is a British family business founded in 1919 by Bert Draper in Kingston upon Thames, based since 1963 in Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire, and run by the family for three generations. Its catalogue lists more than 11,000 hand, power and automotive tools and workshop equipment items.

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.
