Is this hammer suitable for driving large nails?
No, this 4oz hammer is designed for precision work. Its lightweight head is not suitable for driving large nails or for heavy-duty striking applications.

How long is the hammer?
The total length of the hammer is 330mm.
What type of handle does it have?

How much does the hammer weigh?

Can I use this hammer for demolition work?

Troubleshooting
Hammer head feels loose on the handle.
Ensure the wedge securing the head is tight. If loose, carefully tap the wedge further in. If the handle itself is damaged, replacement may be necessary.
Wood splinters on the handle.
The smooth varnished finish is designed to prevent splinters. If splinters occur, inspect the handle for damage and consider lightly sanding and reapplying a wood finish.
Head shows signs of excessive wear or chipping.
This indicates the hammer is being used for tasks beyond its intended scope. For extensive wear, the head may need professional assessment or replacement. Ensure you are using the correct tool for the job.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This hammer requires no setup. It is ready for use out of the box.
Compatibility: While designed for general use in metal shaping and small fixings, its compatibility is based on the task's scale. It is not intended for use with large demolition tasks or driving substantial fasteners.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the hammer head clean after each use to remove debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Handle Maintenance: Periodically check the hickory handle for any signs of damage. The varnished finish helps protect the wood, but avoid prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or dryness. A light reapplication of wood polish can maintain the finish if needed.
- Storage: Store the hammer in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures, to preserve the integrity of both the steel head and the wooden handle.
