Duratruss DT Copper Hammer 1lb

The indispensable companion for every rigger and stage builder: Our professional copper hammer for safe truss assembly.

Anyone working in the rigging field knows: reliable tools determine speed, material protection, and safety. This copper hammer was specifically developed for the demanding requirements on event stages, in TV studios, and at trade fair grounds. It is the perfect tool to drive conical connectors (pins) into trusses in a material-friendly, spark-free, and quiet manner. An absolute must-have for every toolcase.

Why a copper hammer? Your benefits during truss assembly:

• 100 % Material Protection (No "Mushroom Head Effect"): Copper is softer than the hardened steel of the bolts and the aluminum of the trusses. The hammer head "sacrifices" itself minimally with each blow instead of deforming the expensive conical connectors. Your pins retain their shape and do not jam.

• Certified Spark Protection (Ex Protection): When steel strikes steel, dangerous sparks threaten to fly. Our copper hammer works absolutely spark-free. This guarantees maximum safety during setup near pyrotechnics, special effects, fog fluid, or sensitive electronics.

• Effective Noise Dampening: Forget the piercing, metallic noise of a standard hammer amplified through hollow trusses like a megaphone. The soft copper dampens the impact acoustically – for noticeably more pleasant work on set, even during parallel rehearsals.

• Durable Professional Quality: Robust, ergonomic wooden handle combined with a massive copper head for optimal balance and maximum striking power with minimal effort.

Background Knowledge for Professionals:

In professional event and trade fair construction, the copper hammer is the undisputed standard in rigging. The physical background is as simple as it is ingenious: because copper has lower hardness than steel, the hammer acts as a buffer for mechanical energy. This saves money in the long term, as the service life of truss bolts is drastically increased. Additionally, the spark-free property minimizes fire risk at event venues in accordance with common occupational safety and health regulations (e.g., DGUV).
