Features 5

  • ONE-PIECE FORGED I-BEAM CONSTRUCTION FOR LASTING STRENGTH: Unlike two-piece hammers that can loosen or break at the neck, the SH3's single-forged I-beam head and handle deliver unmatched structural integrity. Built to handle the daily demands of professional sheet metal work, roofing, and HVAC duct installation.
  • INDIVIDUALLY HARDENED & TEMPERED HEAD SECTIONS: Each section of the hammer is independently hardened and tempered, giving you a precisely balanced 18 oz striking weight with the resilience to absorb repeated impact without deforming.
  • FULL-POLISHED BEVELED FACE & PEIN, CORROSION RESISTANT: The highly polished, beveled 7/8-inch face and pein resist rust and corrosion even in outdoor or high-humidity job site conditions. The smooth finish reduces marring on sheet metal surfaces so your work stays clean and professional.
  • LEATHER GRIP THAT CONFORMS TO YOUR HAND OVER TIME: Protected with a durable lacquer coating, the SH3's leather grip forms a custom fit to your hand the more you use it. Natural leather absorbs vibration and provides a sure, comfortable hold, even during extended overhead or repetitive-strike work.

Description

The Setting Hammer Other Brands Are Measured Against When sheet metal pros talk about a setting hammer that just works, they're talking about the Malco SH3. With its one-piece forged I-beam construction, individually hardened head sections, and full-polished beveled face and pein, this 18 oz. setting hammer delivers the balance, durability, and striking precision that roofing contractors, HVAC installers, and ductwork fabricators have relied on for years. Engineered for the job site At 11-3/4 inches overall and precisely balanced at 18 oz., the SH3 gives you controlled striking power whether you're driving cleats, setting standing seam panels, or working duct flanges. The 7/8-inch beveled face and matching pein are corrosion-resistant and won't mar polished or coated metal surfaces, keeping your work looking professional. A grip that gets better with every use The leather grip on the SH3 is lacquer-coated for protection straight out of the box, then conforms to your hand over time for a truly custom fit. Natural leather absorbs vibration, reduces fatigue during repetitive striking, and stays secure even with gloves. Prefer synthetic? The SH3V features a molded-on vinyl grip with similar vibration-dampening benefits. Made in USA Every Malco SH3 is made in the United States to exacting tolerances. This is a professional-grade tool built for a career of hard use — not a DIY weekend item. If you're in the trade and you want a setting hammer you'll never need to replace, this is it. Unlike two-piece hammers that can loosen or break at the neck, the SH3's single-forged I-beam head and handle deliver unmatched structural integrity. Built to handle the daily demands of professional sheet metal work, roofing, and HVAC duct installation. Protected with a durable lacquer coating, the SH3's leather grip forms a custom fit to your hand the more you use it.

INDIVIDUALLY HARDENED & TEMPERED HEAD SECTIONS: Each section of the hammer is independently hardened and tempered, giving you a precisely balanced 18 oz striking weight with the resilience to absorb repeated impact without deforming. FULL-POLISHED BEVELED FACE & PEIN, CORROSION RESISTANT: The highly polished, beveled 7/8-inch face and pein resist rust and corrosion even in outdoor or high-humidity job site conditions. The smooth finish reduces marring on sheet metal surfaces so your work stays clean and professional. THE INDUSTRY STANDARD: Trusted by professional roofers, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers across North America. At 11-3/4 inches overall length and perfectly balanced at 18 oz., the SH3 is the setting hammer other brands are measured against. SH3 18 oz. Setting Hammer SH3V 18oz. Setting Hammer TMH1 18oz.

The real deal
Used this same hammer for about a year and it quickly became my go to until somebody swiped it on a job. Went and ordered this one before reading the reviews and seeing some say this may be a Chinese rip off. I can confirm that this is the real deal and not in fact a knock off. Great hammer, good weight and feels just right in the hand. I couldn’t see myself using anything else. ... show more

I am a sheet metal worker and use this hammer every day for various use. It is considered the best by many in the trade and it hasn't disappointed me

Loose handle rumor is true
I got this for my hvac job cause its flat on the sides and makes quick work of putting duct together. Like some of the reviews said, the metal disk on the end of the handle got loose and now i gotta super glue it or somethin. Based on the reviews, i cant say i was expecting a solid handle, but for the brand and price i was hoping for better quality. I only had this hammer a week until it broke loose. ... show more

He says he uses it every single day and the guys at work like it too
I purchased this hammer for my husband as a gift for his new hvac job. He absolutely loves it! He says he uses it every single day and the guys at work like it too. I love how sleek it looks, it's a very durable hammer and my husbands really happy with it. I would totally recommend this hammer.

Feels different in your hand
I’ve been in sheet metal business all my life. I always used Malco sheet-metal hammers, and mine was stolen and I wanted to buy another one, and I bought this one, but it doesn’t feel right, something is not right. I think this is imitation by Chinese. I am not sure, so I am going to try to replace it with another one. Same hammer but 10 dollars more. Maybe that’s why is was more expensive because it was real, and I didn’t buy it. ... show more

Best sheetmetal hammer.
I use to own one years ago and would still have it if it hadn't got stolen, It's a good weight and very durable for using to fabricate and install duct work.

Great, but wish it had a hole for lanyard.
Perfectly balanced and the weight is great. The only thing that it could use is a hole for lanyard. Besides than that it’s great.
