Troubleshooting
Hammer head feels loose on the handle
Ensure the handle is securely attached. For wooden handles, check for swelling or shrinking. For composite handles, inspect the ferrule. If looseness persists and cannot be rectified, cease use and consider replacement.
Claw not gripping nails effectively
Ensure the claw is clean and free of debris. The nail may be bent or damaged; try a new nail. For deeply embedded nails, position the claw firmly under the nail head and use a rocking motion.
Rust spots on the steel head
Gently scrub the rust spots with a wire brush or fine-grit sandpaper. Clean the head thoroughly and apply a thin coat of tool oil to prevent further corrosion.
