Product Information
Full details
The Xtrade X0900079 Club Hammer is designed for DIY enthusiasts and tradespeople needing a durable tool for demolition, masonry, and general striking tasks. Its primary benefit is the combination of a substantial 2.5lb head for powerful strikes with a lightweight, shock-absorbing fibreglass handle that reduces user fatigue. A potential caveat is that its 2.5lb weight might be excessive for very light-duty tasks where a smaller hammer would suffice. Key features include a hardened strike face, a fibreglass handle, and a comfortable rubber grip.

FAQs
What is the weight of the hammer head?
The hammer head weighs 2.5 pounds.
What material is the handle made of?
The handle is made of fibreglass.
Is this hammer suitable for fine carpentry work?
No, the 2.5lb weight is intended for demolition and heavy striking, not for tasks requiring delicate precision like fine carpentry.
How should I clean the hammer head?
Wipe the hammer head clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What kind of grip does the hammer have?
It features an integrated rubber grip for a secure and comfortable hold.
Can I use this hammer for breaking concrete?
Yes, the 2.5lb head weight makes it suitable for breaking down materials like concrete and brick.
Troubleshooting
Hammer head feels loose.
Inspect the connection between the head and the handle. If loose, do not use the hammer and consider professional repair or replacement. Ensure you are not striking at extreme angles which could stress the head-handle joint.
Reduced striking power.
Ensure you have a clear swing path and are striking the material effectively. For demolition tasks, the issue is usually the material's resistance rather than the hammer's performance. Check for any visible damage to the strike face that might impede impact.
User experiencing excessive vibration.
The fibreglass handle is designed to absorb shock. If excessive vibration persists, ensure you are using proper striking technique and that the hammer head is securely attached. Check the rubber grip for wear, though this is unlikely to be the primary cause of vibration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Xtrade X0900079 Club Hammer is ready for use straight out of the packaging. Ensure the hammer head is securely attached to the handle – while unlikely due to manufacturing standards, a visual inspection is always recommended before first use.
Compatibility: This tool is a standalone striking implement and does not have electronic compatibility requirements. It is designed to be used with common building materials such as wood, concrete, brick, and metal.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the hammer head clean of any debris, dust, or moisture using a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the strike face or handle.
- Storage: Store the hammer in a dry environment to prevent rust on the metal head. Ensure it is kept away from excessive heat or moisture.
- Inspection: Periodically check the head-to-handle connection for any signs of looseness or damage. Inspect the fibreglass handle and rubber grip for cracks or wear. If damage is found, discontinue use.
