Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This tool requires no setup; it is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.
Compatibility: The Power-TEC Shrinking Hammer is designed for use on various automotive body panels and sheet metal. It is compatible with traditional panel beating techniques.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the hammer head clean of any debris or metal filings with a dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring the head is thoroughly dried afterward.
- Handle Maintenance: The oak handle may benefit from occasional light oiling (e.g., linseed oil) to prevent drying or cracking, especially in dry environments. Apply sparingly and wipe off excess.
- Storage: Store the hammer in a dry place, away from excessive moisture or extreme temperatures, to preserve the integrity of both the head and the handle.
