How to use

Hold the hammer by the plastic handle with a firm but relaxed grip, positioning the dominant hand near the end of the handle for maximum control and impact. Use the center of the steel head to strike chisels, punches or the workpiece, keeping strikes square to the surface to prevent glancing blows. For shaping or straightening sheet metal, apply measured blows while supporting the workpiece on an anvil or firm backing. Inspect the hammer regularly for signs of head loosening or handle damage and stop using the tool if any structural defects appear.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when working with striking tools. Select the 800 g Dedra locksmith hammer for tasks that require moderate impact force and controlled strikes; for heavier demolition work choose a heavier hammer, and for delicate tapping use a lighter mallet. Store the hammer in a dry place and avoid exposure to chemicals that could degrade the plastic handle.
