This is a real tool with a hardened steel head and is not a toy; it should only be used by minors under adult supervision.
How long is the tool exactly?
The total length of the Marksman Pin Hammer is approximately 17cm.
Troubleshooting

Cease use immediately. Ensure the handle is properly seated and inspect for cracks in the fiberglass core; if the head remains loose, do not continue to use the tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Cleaning: Wipe the carbon steel head with a lightly oiled cloth after use to prevent surface rust, especially if stored in damp areas.
- Inspection: Before use, check the handle to ensure it is firmly attached to the head.
- Storage: Store in a dry toolbox or hang from a pegboard using the handle loop if applicable.
- Usage: Use only on materials suitable for pin nails; do not strike hardened masonry nails or concrete as this can damage the tempered head.
