Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull Nylon Hammer (38mm) is an essential tool for professional tradespeople and serious DIY enthusiasts working in assembly-heavy environments like furniture making, shop fitting, and double glazing. It offers the key benefit of delivering impactful force without damaging sensitive workpieces, thanks to its soft, replaceable nylon faces. However, users should note that as a soft-faced tool, it is not intended for driving hardened nails or heavy-duty demolition tasks, as the nylon faces can deform under extreme, high-impact stress against sharp metal surfaces.

FAQs

Can I use this hammer on concrete?

It is not recommended. Nylon hammers are designed for assembly and delicate work; concrete is abrasive and will degrade the nylon face very quickly.

How do I know when to replace the faces?

Replace the faces once they show significant deep pitting, cracks, or a flattened surface that no longer provides a clean impact area.

Is the handle replaceable?

The handle is integrated into the tool design; if the shaft becomes compromised, the entire hammer unit should be inspected for safety.

What trades find this most useful?

It is highly popular in engineering, shop fitting, furniture assembly, glazing, and injection moulding.

Does it leave marks on delicate surfaces?

The soft nylon construction is specifically designed to avoid leaving marks, dents, or scratches on finished surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Nylon face is loose

Rotate the nylon face clockwise by hand to ensure it is fully screwed into the chrome head housing.

Handle grip feels slippery

Wipe the grip with a clean cloth to remove any oil, grease, or dust buildup that may have accumulated during work.

Head has developed heavy surface damage

Replace the nylon face insert; the hammer is designed for the face to take the damage instead of your workpiece.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents damage to delicate or finished surfaces
  • Easy-to-replace screw-in nylon heads
  • Ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks
  • Highly versatile across multiple trades like engineering and furniture assembly

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty metal demolition
  • Nylon faces will eventually wear down with heavy usage
  • Lacks the force density of steel-faced hammers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your hammer in peak condition, ensure the screw-in faces are tightened firmly before use. If the nylon faces become heavily scarred or deformed, unscrew the old heads and replace them with new, manufacturer-approved spares. The shaft requires little maintenance beyond wiping away debris after use. Avoid exposing the plastic handle to extreme heat or chemical solvents, as these may degrade the material over long periods. Store in a dry, cool place to keep the chrome head free from moisture-related corrosion.
