FAQs
Is this hammer suitable for framing houses?
This is a lump hammer designed for heavy demolition and impact tasks; it is generally too heavy and blunt for driving standard framing nails.
What is the total length of the tool?
The total length of the hammer is 410mm.
Does the handle absorb vibration well?
Yes, the fiberglass shaft is specifically engineered for shock absorption to reduce fatigue compared to traditional wooden handles.
Can I use both sides of the head?
Yes, the double-faced design features two identical, heat-treated striking surfaces.
How heavy is this hammer in kilograms?
The hammer weighs 1.8kg (4lb).
Is it safe to store this in an unheated shed?
Yes, but it is recommended to keep the head oiled to prevent oxidation caused by humidity.
Troubleshooting
Head feels loose after heavy impact
Inspect the junction between the head and the shaft. If movement is detected, do not use the tool; it may require re-wedging or professional repair.
Surface rust appearing on the striking faces
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad to remove surface rust and apply a thin layer of protective oil after each use.
Grip is slipping during use
Ensure the handle is free of grease or oil; clean the grip with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly to restore tackiness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no formal setup—it is ready for use immediately out of the box. To maintain the integrity of the tool, ensure that the striking surfaces are kept free of debris before use. After heavy-duty work, wipe the steel head with a light coating of machine oil to prevent surface rust, especially if stored in humid environments like garden sheds or unheated garages. Regularly inspect the fiberglass shaft for any signs of cracking or fraying. If the shaft becomes compromised, retire the hammer immediately for safety reasons.
