Setup, Compatibility & Care

This hammer requires no assembly and is ready for immediate use out of the box. To maintain your tool, wipe the head with a light coating of machine oil after working in damp conditions to prevent surface oxidation. Inspect the grip periodically for signs of wear; if the rubberized surface becomes compromised, clean it with mild soap and water to restore tackiness. Store the hammer in a cool, dry place away from corrosive chemicals to ensure the long-term integrity of the forged steel head.
