Bosch Claw Hammer - 450 g / 16 oz

The hammer head is made of hard carbon steel with a hardness of 50-58 HRC.

The fiberglass core in the handle provides high efficiency by minimizing vibrations and maximizing the force transferred to the striking surface, reducing user fatigue.

With a weight of 450g (16 oz), this hammer is best suited for medium to heavy-duty tasks. For very light or delicate work, a lighter hammer might be more appropriate.

Wipe the head clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. The matt coating provides rust resistance, but store the hammer in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.

The V-shaped claw is designed for effective pulling of common nail types. For deeply embedded or large nails, sufficient leverage is key.

The ergonomic softgrip handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, enhancing control and reducing strain during prolonged use.

Inspect the junction between the head and handle. If it appears loose, do not use the hammer and seek professional advice or replacement. Ensure the handle is not cracked.

Ensure the V-shaped claw is properly seated under the nail head. Apply steady, even pressure. For stubborn nails, try rocking the hammer slightly to loosen the nail's grip.

While the fiberglass core minimizes vibrations, some transmission is normal. Ensure you are gripping the handle correctly and not over-striking. Check for any damage to the handle that might affect shock absorption.

Gently remove light rust with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, being careful not to damage the matt coating excessively. Wipe clean and store in a dry place. For persistent rust, consider a rust inhibitor suitable for tools.
