Forney Industries Inc 70600 Chipping Hammer

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 70600 is a straight-head chipping hammer designed for removing slag, spatter, and scale from welds and metal surfaces. Chipping hammers are a standard hand tool in welding and metal fabrication, used immediately after a weld pass to clean the bead before inspection or the next pass. The straight-head design gives the user direct striking access along flat and slightly curved weld seams. This tool is sold in a package quantity of 6, making it a practical stock item for shops, supply rooms, and field service kits.

Chipping hammers are used across welding, fabrication, and structural steel trades. They are common on job sites involving stick (SMAW) welding, flux-core (FCAW) welding, and any process that produces slag. The straight-head configuration suits flat or horizontal weld positions where direct, inline striking is preferred. These tools are a consumable-adjacent staple kept on hand by ironworkers, pipe welders, structural fabricators, and maintenance welders.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose chipping hammer for use in welding and metal fabrication applications where slag and spatter removal is required after weld passes.

Installation Notes

Chipping hammers are hand tools requiring no installation. Always wear ANSI-rated eye protection and appropriate PPE when chipping slag, as debris can travel at high velocity. Allow the weld to cool to a safe handling temperature before chipping to reduce spatter scatter and personal injury risk. Inspect the tool handle and head connection before each use and replace if damaged.
