FAQs
What is the weight of this hammer?
The Facom 1262H.150 has a head weight of 1500g.
Is this hammer suitable for framing?
While it can be used for heavy demolition or driving large stakes, it is a lump hammer and not intended for precision driving of standard nails.
Why does the head have bevelled edges?
The bevelled edges are designed to reduce the risk of chipping the steel head when making impact with hard surfaces.
Can I use this for rock splitting?
Yes, its weight and durability make it appropriate for masonry tasks, including light rock splitting with an appropriate wedge.
How do I protect the head from rust?
Keep the hammer in a dry place and wipe the head with a light machine oil after exposure to moisture.
Troubleshooting
Head feels slightly loose
Check if the wedge is secure and ensure the tool is not being stored in extreme humidity, which can affect the handle material.
Surface chipping observed
Ensure strikes are made squarely with the face of the hammer and avoid striking hardened steel tools that are harder than the hammer head itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This hammer requires no assembly and is ready for immediate use. To maintain the integrity of the tool, store it in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Inspect the head-to-handle connection periodically for any signs of loosening due to vibration. Clean the steel head with a dry cloth after use to remove debris. If the tool is used in wet conditions, wipe it down thoroughly and apply a light coating of machine oil to the steel surface to prevent rust. Ensure you are wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety goggles and gloves, whenever operating this tool.
