Troubleshooting

Hammer head feels loose

Ensure the head is securely attached to the handle. If it's a wooden handle, it may need to be wedged tighter. For safety, cease use if the head is significantly loose.

Nails are bending or not driving straight

Ensure you are striking the nail head squarely with the center of the hammer face. Check that the nail is properly started and held straight.

Claw is not effectively removing nails

Position the claw firmly under the nail head and use a rocking motion. Ensure the nail is not excessively rusted or embedded too deeply.

Rust spots on hammer head

Lightly scrub the rust spots with steel wool or a wire brush. Apply a thin coat of oil to the metal to prevent future rusting.
