Forney Industries Inc 70601 Cross Peen Chipping Hammer

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 70601 is a high carbon steel, cross peen chipping hammer built for slag removal, weld cleanup, and general metalworking tasks. One end features a tempered chisel face and the other a tempered point, giving the user two working surfaces in a single tool. The shock-resistant handle includes a loop for belt hook carry, keeping the hammer accessible on the job. At 10.5 inches overall length, it balances reach and control for tight work around weld joints and fabrication fixtures. This is a durable, all-purpose chipping hammer suited to daily use in welding, fabrication, and industrial maintenance environments.

The 70601 is intended for professional welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable chipping hammer for post-weld slag removal and surface prep. Its dual-head design handles both flat chisel work and pointed chipping without requiring a tool change. The black finish and high carbon steel construction hold up to the heat and impact common in shop and field welding applications.

Installation Notes

Used by welders, fabricators, and maintenance technicians in shop and field settings. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection when chipping slag, as fragments can travel at high velocity. Inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before each use and replace if damaged. Store in a dry location to prevent corrosion on the steel head.
