Product Information
Full details
The Bulldog Soft Grip Lump Hammer is designed for construction and renovation professionals needing a durable tool for demolition tasks. Its key benefit is the robust, one-piece fibreglass handle and securely bonded 3lb tempered steel head, ensuring safety and consistent performance. A potential caveat is its compact size, which might be less ideal for extended, two-handed heavy-duty striking where a larger hammer is preferred. This hammer features a reinforced fibreglass handle, a 3lb tempered steel head, a soft-grip for comfort, and an epoxy-coated, resin-bonded construction for longevity and rust resistance.

Troubleshooting
Hammer head feels loose.
The resin-bonded construction is designed for permanent integrity. If the head appears loose, do not use the hammer and contact customer support or the retailer.
Reduced striking effectiveness.
Ensure the striking surface of the head is clean and free from debris. Check that the hammer is being used with appropriate force for the material being struck.
Grip handle becoming slippery.
Wipe the grip handle with a dry cloth. If a more thorough cleaning is needed, use mild soap and water and ensure the handle is completely dry before use.
