FAQs

What is the primary material of the hammer head?

The hammer head is made from durable carbon steel and forged steel for improved strength.

How does the fibreglass handle benefit the user?

The fibreglass handle is lightweight, which reduces user fatigue, and it helps to minimize vibration upon impact for a more comfortable experience.

Is this hammer suitable for heavy-duty demolition?

While durable, this hammer is primarily designed for general construction and DIY tasks. For heavy-duty demolition, a heavier sledgehammer or specialized demolition tool might be more appropriate.

What does it mean that it conforms to ASME B107.400 safety standards?

This means the hammer has been manufactured to meet specific safety and performance criteria set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ensuring a certain level of reliability and safety in its construction and use.

Can the hammer head be replaced?

No, this hammer features a fixed head design with epoxy adhesive construction for reinforced durability. The head is not designed to be replaced.

What are the dimensions of the hammer?

The hammer measures approximately 32.5cm in length, 13.5cm in width, and 3.5cm in height.

Troubleshooting

Hammer head feels loose.

Ensure the epoxy adhesion is intact. If the head is significantly loose, discontinue use as it may be a manufacturing defect or due to extreme stress.

Grip feels slippery.

Wipe the handle with a dry cloth to remove any oils or moisture. Ensure your hands are clean and dry before use.

Reduced striking power.

Ensure you are using proper technique and swing. Check that the hammer head is not significantly chipped or damaged, which could affect impact.
