“The AluTec carpenter’s hammer stands out due to its innovative combination of materials,” praised the jury. The handle and hammer head frame made of AluTec provide strength and resistance, while the striking surface and tip made of C45 steel ensure a balanced head weight, enabling powerful and precise striking. The tool’s hybrid steel-and-aluminium construction reduces the overall weight to 750 grams. “The combination of a steel-and-aluminium head with a solid aluminium handle results in a tool that offers high utility thanks to the balance between ergonomics, robustness and lightness,” said the jury.
