Troubleshooting

The hammer is slipping in my hand.

Ensure the handle grip is clean and dry. The exclusive Shock Reduction Grip is designed to prevent slippage. If the grip is worn, consider replacing the hammer.

Nails are bending when struck.

Ensure you are striking the nail head squarely. Increase the force if necessary, or check to see if the nail is appropriate for the wood.

The hammer feels unbalanced.

Ensure that the striking surface is flat and the hammer head is making full contact. Check your swing and grip.
