Regarding Sar Jane Hammer
Sar Jane is a hammer with adjustable weight. Most hammers on the market have a fixed weight, so several hammers are often kept for different tasks. Sar Jane has a movable metal slider on the handle. The slider is turned counterclockwise to unlock, moved along the handle, and then turned clockwise to lock again. With the slider held low on the handle, the head feels lighter and precise control is easier. With the slider moved up to the head, the impact force increases. One tool made of alloy steel covers both light and heavy tasks.
Award Record
Nan Wang is a winner of 1 A' Design Award, including this recognition.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Sar Jane adjusts the weight by adding heavy metals to the handle. When precise control is required, it is locked on the handle to reduce the weight of the hammerhead, making it easy to operate. The metal slider is transferred from the handle to the hammerhead, thereby increasing the impact force without changing the total weight. In this way, only one hammer is needed to meet the two operating requirements and adapt to a variety of situations.
- Inspiration
- The weight of hammers produced on the market is fixed. Weight is distinguished by model. In daily life, people usually prepare multiple hammers with different weights to meet different needs, such as smashing walnuts and nails. It is not easy to find and carry when using multiple hammers, and it takes up storage space.
- Realization and Technology
- Most hammers are made of alloy steel. In the production of alloys, it is usually necessary to melt a plurality of metals and mix them in proportion, and then process them in different processes to obtain different characteristics. The entire production process consumes a lot of energy and releases a lot of carbon emissions, which has a huge impact on the environment. When you own Sar Jane at home, you no longer need to prepare other hammers to meet most daily use needs, which saves resources and reduces carbon emissions. Contributed to society.
- Operation and Interaction
- When you need to increase the weight of the hammer, turn the slider counterclockwise to unlock.Slide the unlocked slider from bottom to top.Turn the slider clockwise and make sure the slider is locked.Knock the nail into the specified position.
