Product Information
Full details
The Rikä 8oz Cross Pein Hammer is an essential tool for joiners, cabinet makers, and metalworkers who require precision striking power for small-scale assembly and shaping tasks. It features a durable, vibration-dampening fiberglass handle and a 55# carbon steel head, making it excellent for driving tacks or panel pins in tight spaces while protecting the user's fingers. While its 8oz weight is perfect for delicate and medium-duty work, it is not suitable for heavy-duty demolition or framing projects requiring high impact force.

FAQs
Is this hammer suitable for framing houses?
No, this 8oz hammer is designed for fine joinery and small fixings. It does not have enough mass for framing.
Can I use the cross pein to drive nails?
The cross pein is designed for starting nails and tacks; the flat face should be used for driving them home.
What is the handle made of?
It features a high-strength fiberglass core with a dual-material, soft-grip ergonomic overmold.
Does the hammer come with a warranty?
Rikä tools are built for professional use; please refer to your regional point of purchase documentation for specific warranty terms.
Will the grip peel off over time?
The dual-material grip is securely bonded for long-term use; however, avoid exposure to harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the rubber.
Troubleshooting
Head feels loose after heavy use
Check the wedge area; if the head shifts, discontinue use and contact the manufacturer as the handle-to-head bond should remain rigid.
Surface rust appearing on the striking face
Gently scrub with fine-grade steel wool and wipe clean with a light machine oil.
