Frequently asked questions
Common questions about NUPLA from 3G Electric.
What tip diameters are available for NUPLA quick-change hammers?
NUPLA quick-change hammers are available with tip diameters of 1 inch, 2 inches, and 3 inches. These correspond to different head weights: the 1-inch tip is on a 9 oz head, the 2-inch tip is on 24 oz and 2 1/2 lb heads, and the 3-inch tip is on a 5 lb head. Overall lengths range from 11 1/2 inches to 15 1/2 inches. The hammers are supplied without tips, so users can select the appropriate tip material and hardness for their application. The ribbed grip is a standard feature on these models.
What are the head weights and face diameters of NUPLA soft-face drilling hammers?
NUPLA soft-face drilling hammers are offered in three head weights: 2 lb, 3 lb, and 4 lb. The 2 lb model has a 1 1/2 inch diameter face, while the 3 lb and 4 lb models have a 1 5/8 inch diameter face. All have a 14-inch overall length and a fiberglass handle. The smooth face is designed for non-marring striking. These hammers are used in drilling and other applications where a controlled strike is needed without damaging the workpiece.
What is the handle length and head material of the NUPLA standard leaf rake?
The NUPLA standard leaf rake has a 54-inch fiberglass handle and a steel head with a spring brace design. The spring brace allows the head to flex during use, which can reduce strain when gathering leaves and light yard debris. The fiberglass handle provides a lightweight yet durable construction. This rake is a single SKU in the NUPLA line and is identified by manufacturer part number 75.69-610. It is suitable for grounds maintenance tasks in industrial, commercial, and residential settings.
Are replacement tips available for NUPLA quick-change hammers?
NUPLA quick-change hammers are designed to accept replaceable tips, but the hammers are sold without tips. Replacement tips are available separately and must be selected based on the tip diameter and the desired material or hardness. The quick-change mechanism allows tips to be swapped without tools, which reduces downtime during maintenance or assembly tasks. When ordering, specify the tip diameter (1 inch, 2 inches, or 3 inches) to match the hammer. 3G Electric can provide quotes for hammers and tips as separate line items.
What applications are NUPLA soft-face hammers used for?
NUPLA soft-face hammers are used in applications requiring non-marring strikes, such as assembling machinery, seating bearings, forming sheet metal, and disassembly tasks. The soft face reduces the risk of damaging finished surfaces or precision components. The quick-change models allow different tip materials to be used for varying degrees of impact. Drilling hammers are specifically used in drilling operations where a controlled strike is needed. These tools are common in maintenance, assembly, and fabrication environments where traditional metal hammers would cause damage.
