Taparia Club Hammer GH 1000 is a 1 kg double-faced club hammer, supplied with its handle fitted — the tool for driving cold chisels and bolsters, and for masonry work where a claw hammer has no business.
Weight is what a club hammer is for. A 1 kg head delivers real energy per blow, which is exactly what a chisel needs: cold chisels and bolsters work by transferring a heavy, controlled impact into the cut. Tapping one with a light hammer achieves nothing but a sore hand and a mushroomed chisel head.
The double face means both ends strike, so there is no claw or pein to catch on anything and the tool stays balanced. And a club hammer head is hardened differently from a carpenter’s hammer — it is made to strike steel chisels, which a claw hammer face is not, and using a claw hammer on a chisel chips both tools.
Key Features
- 1 kg head: Enough mass to drive a chisel properly, which a light hammer cannot
- Double faced: Both ends strike, nothing to catch, and balanced in the hand
- Made to strike steel chisels — hardened for the job, unlike a claw hammer face
- Handle fitted and ready to use
- For masonry, demolition and heavy striking where control matters more than reach
- Made by Taparia Tools — an ISO-9001 company manufacturing hand tools in India since 1969, in technical collaboration with Bahco of Sweden

Using It Safely
- Wear safety goggles. Striking a chisel or masonry throws chips at speed, and eyes do not recover
- Check the head is tight on the handle before every use. A loose head can fly off mid-swing — this is the classic hammer accident
- Never strike hardened steel with the hammer face other than a proper chisel head. Hammer faces can chip
- Dress a mushroomed chisel head before using it. A mushroomed head throws fragments when struck
- Replace a split or damaged handle, never tape it
- Keep it dry and lightly oiled. Hand tools rust quickly through a Bengaluru monsoon — a wipe of oil after wet work costs nothing
- Use the tool for its intended job. Most hand tool failures come from using one as a hammer, pry bar or lever it was never designed to be
1) What is a club hammer used for?
Driving cold chisels and bolsters, masonry work, and heavy striking. The 1 kg head delivers the energy a chisel needs — tapping one with a light hammer achieves nothing but a mushroomed chisel and a sore hand.
2) Why not just use a claw hammer?
Different tools. A claw hammer face is not hardened to strike steel chisels, and doing so chips both tools. A claw hammer is also too light to drive a chisel properly, and its claw catches on things.
3) Is 1 kg the right weight?
It is the common general-purpose size — enough for chisel work and masonry without being tiring. Heavier heads suit sustained demolition; lighter ones suit fine chisel work where control matters more than force.
4) What safety gear do I need?
Safety goggles, without exception. Striking chisels and masonry throws hard chips at speed. Gloves help with vibration, and check the head is tight on the handle before every use.
5) The head feels loose — what should I do?
Stop using it immediately. A loose head can fly off mid-swing, which is the classic hammer accident. Re-wedge it properly or replace the handle; never carry on and hope.
