FAQs

What materials are the faces made of?

The faces are made of white super plastic, designed for controlled, non-marring impact.

How do I replace the hammer faces?

Remove the socket head cap screws, take off the old face, position the new face, and reinsert and tighten the screws.

Can I use this hammer for demolition?

While durable, the plastic faces are not designed for heavy demolition tasks. It's best suited for assembly, repair, and maintenance where controlled impact is needed.

How many weights are available for this hammer range?

The Thor Super Plastic Split Head Hammers are available in 5 different weights.

How often should I inspect the hammer faces?

It is recommended to inspect the faces regularly, especially after each significant use, and rotate or replace them as needed.

What is the primary benefit of the split head design?

The split head design allows for quick and easy adjustment or replacement of the handle and faces.

Troubleshooting

Hammer face is excessively worn.

Rotate the hammer face 180 degrees to use the opposite side. If both sides are worn, replace the face with a new one.

Hammer head feels loose.

Ensure the socket head cap screws holding the faces to the head are tightened securely. Do not overtighten.

Plastic face is chipped or cracked.

Replace the damaged face immediately to prevent further damage to the workpiece or tool.

Handle feels loose in the head.

Check the screws securing the faces; ensure they are tight, as this also secures the handle within the split head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Thor Super Plastic Split Head Hammer is ready for use out of the box. Ensure the faces are securely fastened to the head before initial use. The socket head cap screws should be snug but not overtightened.

Compatibility: This hammer is designed for general-purpose striking applications. Its compatibility is broad, covering assembly, repair, and maintenance across many industries. It is particularly suited for use on metal, plastic, wood, and other materials where a non-marring impact is desired.

Care:

  1. Face Inspection: Regularly inspect the plastic faces for wear. Rotate the faces when one side shows significant wear to utilize the full surface area.
  2. Replacement: Once both sides of a face are worn down, replace the faces with genuine Thor spares.
  3. Screw Tightening: Periodically check and tighten the socket head cap screws securing the faces to the head, especially after heavy use.
  4. Cleaning: Clean the hammer with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic faces or metal head. Store in a dry environment.
