Troubleshooting
Hammer head feels loose
Ensure the head is firmly attached to the handle. If it appears loose, do not use the hammer and consider replacement or professional repair.
Nail bends or fails to drive straight
Ensure you are using the correct striking angle and sufficient force. Check if the nail head is properly seated on the surface before striking. For stubborn nails, a pilot hole might be beneficial.
Claw is not gripping the nail head firmly
Ensure the nail head is not damaged. Try angling the hammer slightly to get a better grip. For deeply embedded nails, use the claw carefully as a lever.
