Halder

Founded in 1938 in Achstetten-Bronnen, Germany, Halder has built a worldwide reputation for manufacturing premium striking tools and precision workholding solutions. Best known for inventing the SIMPLEX soft-face mallet, Halder has become the industry standard for applications that require controlled force without damaging finished surfaces. Today, the company remains family-owned and continues to design and manufacture its products in Germany.

Rather than producing a broad range of general hand tools, Halder focuses on engineering striking tools that maximize control, longevity, and versatility. Their patented SIMPLEX system features interchangeable faces, housings, and handles, allowing users to customize a hammer for specific materials and applications while extending the life of the tool. This modular design has made Halder hammers a favorite among mechanics, machinists, motorsports professionals, woodworkers, and industrial technicians who demand precision without sacrificing durability.

Halder products are manufactured in Germany using high-quality materials and rigorous quality standards. Every hammer is designed to deliver consistent performance, whether installing bearings, adjusting suspension components, assembling machinery, or working with delicate finished surfaces. With decades of engineering expertise and a commitment to innovation, Halder continues to set the benchmark for professional-grade soft-face hammers trusted by tradespeople around the world.
