FAQs About Welding Hammers

What is a welding hammer used for?

A welding hammer, often called a chipping hammer, knocks off slag and spatter after stick or flux-core welding. Its pointed and chisel ends reach corners and flat beads without gouging the metal. Using it with a wire brush helps reveal clean, sound welds. Always wear eye protection because slag can fly.

What type of hammer is used to knock away slag?

A chipping hammer is the standard tool for removing slag. It has a tapered point on one side and a flat chisel on the other to break and lift slag from weld beads. Most have a spring or rubberized handle to absorb shock and reduce hand fatigue. Pair it with a stiff wire brush for a clean finish.

What’s the best way to hold a welding hammer?

Grip the handle firmly near the balance point, not at the very end, for control. Angle the chisel or point about 30 to 45 degrees to the weld and use short, controlled strikes instead of heavy swings. Work from the edge of the bead toward the center to avoid digging into base metal. Wear gloves and safety glasses to protect from sharp, flying slag.

Are Arccaptain welding hammers good for beginners?

Yes, they are a solid choice for new welders because their spring-handle chipping hammers reduce shock and are easy to control. The dual-end design, point and chisel, covers most cleanup tasks after stick and flux-core welding. Beginners appreciate the durable steel and balanced feel, which help prevent accidental gouges.
