Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a non-powered hand tool, the Xtrade Brick Hammer requires no assembly. To maintain the tool's integrity, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the head clean of wet mortar immediately after use to prevent buildup and maintain the steel's corrosion resistance.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment to ensure the fiberglass handle remains free from moisture-related degradation.
- Inspection: Regularly check the connection between the head and the handle for any signs of loosening; if the head feels loose, stop using the tool immediately.
- Handling: Avoid using the hammer as a pry bar, as this places extreme lateral stress on the fiberglass neck which it is not designed to withstand.
