How to use

Hold the hammer near the end of the wooden handle for maximum control and leverage when striking. Position the workpiece securely in a vice or on a stable surface before applying impact. Use the correct striking face and force for the material: lighter taps for shaping and finishing, firmer blows for driving punches or pins. Inspect the handle and head regularly and ensure the head is firmly seated on the handle before each use.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Replace the handle if it shows cracks or loosening, and avoid striking hardened steel or surfaces that can cause chipping. Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent handle degradation and maintain the tool’s performance.
