Product Information
Full details
The Rikä 16oz Claw Hammer is a precision-engineered manual tool designed for electricians, plumbers, and general contractors who require a balance of impact power and ergonomic comfort. Its standout feature is the specialized vibration-dampening core that minimizes strain during high-frequency tasks, though users should note that at 16oz, it is optimized for versatility rather than heavy-duty demolition or framing work.

FAQs
Can I use this hammer for heavy demolition?
This 16oz hammer is designed for general contracting, finishing, and driving fixings; it is not recommended for heavy structural demolition.
Does the vibration dampening actually help?
Yes, the internal lightweight core is specifically engineered to absorb the shock of each strike, which helps reduce user fatigue during repetitive tasks.
Is the steel head rust-proof?
The head is polished to resist corrosion, but as it is made of carbon steel, it should be kept dry and stored properly to maintain its finish.
What is the weight of the hammer?
The head weight is 16oz, or approximately 450 grams.
Is the handle material oil-resistant?
The ergonomic soft grip is designed for a secure hold even in oily or wet conditions, though it should be wiped clean after exposure to chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Head feels slightly loose during a strike
Ensure the handle grip is firm and you are striking squarely; if the head-to-handle bond appears compromised, discontinue use for safety.
Grip becoming slippery
Clean the dual-material grip with a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly to restore the texture's tackiness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This hammer requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately upon removal from the packaging. To ensure the longevity of your Rikä tool:
- Cleaning: Wipe the head down with a clean, dry cloth after use, especially if the tool was exposed to moisture or corrosive materials. An occasional light application of machine oil on the polished face can prevent rust if stored in humid environments.
- Inspection: Before starting work, visually inspect the head-to-handle bond. While the bond is permanent, it is good practice to ensure no debris has compromised the handle texture.
- Storage: Store in a dry toolbox or hang in a climate-controlled workshop to preserve the ergonomics of the soft-grip handle material.
