Troubleshooting
Hammerhead feels loose on the shaft.
Inspect the connection point. If the handle appears to have shrunk or loosened, it may require professional repair or replacement. Do not use the hammer if the head is loose.

Light rust can be removed with fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Wipe clean and dry thoroughly. Apply a thin coat of oil to the polished head to prevent future rust. If rust is severe, it may affect performance.
