How to use

Hold the hammer by the wooden handle near the end to maximize swing control and striking force. Position the nail and use controlled, even strikes with the hammer face to drive the nail into the workpiece. To remove a nail, hook the claw under the nail head, use the hammer head as a fulcrum against the surface, and apply steady leverage until the nail is withdrawn. Inspect the hammer before use to ensure the head is secure and the handle is free of cracks or significant wear.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and work gloves. Select nails suitable for the material you are working with and avoid using excessive force that could damage thin or brittle workpieces. Store the hammer in a dry place to protect the wooden handle and check periodically for tightness between the head and handle.
