How to use

Hold the hammer by the rubber handle near the end for maximum leverage. Position the claw under the nail head to remove nails, using a block of wood as a fulcrum if necessary to protect the work surface. For driving nails, place the nail tip, start with light taps to set the nail, then use controlled full swings to drive it to the required depth. Maintain a stable stance and controlled wrist motion to optimise accuracy and reduce the risk of injury.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the hammer before use for any visible damage to the head or handle. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when working. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the steel head.
