Slate hammers

Professional slate hammers for roofers and stonemasons

A slate hammer is a fundamental tool for any roofer working with natural slate. It allows for precise breaking of stone tiles and also includes an integrated punch for making mounting holes. In this category, you’ll find a wide selection of hammer types – including German and American models tailored to the preferences and working styles of professionals.

Types of slate hammers

• German hammer – features an asymmetrical head with a chisel on one side and a pointed punch on the other. Ideal for precise cutting and marking slate. A popular version in Europe, used in Stubai hammers.
• American hammer – equipped with a wider blade and a centrally positioned punch. Preferred by users who value a greater range of motion. Available from renowned brands like Jouanel.
• Universal hammer – combines features of both designs, offering versatility. Ideal for those seeking a balance between precision and ease of use.

Key features of a good slate hammer

A properly selected slate hammer should have:

• an ergonomic handle (wooden or plastic),
• a hardened steel head with high wear resistance,
• a sharp and well-shaped cutting edge,
