Product Information
Full details
The Bulldog Soft Grip Lump Hammer is designed for users undertaking light demolition and construction tasks that require precise single-hand control. Its key benefit is enhanced maneuverability and comfort during extended use, thanks to its compact size and ergonomic grip. A potential caveat is its 2.5lb weight, which may be substantial for very delicate tasks. This 255mm hammer features a durable, nylon-reinforced fiberglass handle, a heavy-duty tempered head with epoxy coating for rust resistance, and a resin-bonded construction for secure head-to-handle connection.

FAQs
What is the primary use case for this lump hammer?
This hammer is best suited for light demolition tasks and jobs requiring precise single-hand control, such as removing tiles, plaster, or dismantling fixtures in confined spaces.
What is the weight of the hammer head?
The hammer weighs 2.5lb.
Is the handle made of metal or fiberglass?
The handle is constructed from nylon-reinforced fiberglass for strength and durability.
How does the hammer prevent the head from coming off?
The head is secured to the handle using a permanent resin-bonding process.
Will the epoxy coating on the head wear off?
The epoxy coating is designed for durability to resist rust and wear. Normal use should not cause it to wear off quickly, but extreme abrasion could affect it over time.
Can this hammer be used for heavy-duty demolition?
While durable, its compact size and weight are optimized for light demolition. For heavy-duty tasks, a larger, heavier hammer would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the fiberglass handle?
You can wipe the handle with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Ensure it is dried completely afterward.
Troubleshooting
Hammer head feels loose
The resin bonding is designed to be permanent. If the head feels loose, it may indicate damage. Discontinue use and consider replacement.
Reduced striking power
Ensure the head is clean and free from debris. Check that the striking surface is not excessively worn or damaged. The hammer's weight is fixed, so impact force is consistent with its design.
Grip becoming slippery
Wipe the grip with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt or oil. Ensure hands are dry before use.
