FAQs

What is the weight of this hammer?

This is a 16oz (approximately 454g) claw hammer.

What material is the hammer head made from?

The hammer head is manufactured from drop-forged carbon steel for maximum durability.

How does the magnetic nail starter work?

A magnet is embedded in the head, which holds the head of a nail securely, allowing you to position it with one hand before striking.

Is this hammer suitable for left-handed users?

Yes, the magnetic nail starter and overall design are ambidextrous and suitable for both left and right-handed users.

What does 'Manufactured and tested to BS 876' mean?

This indicates that the hammer has been produced and evaluated according to the standards set by BS 876, ensuring a certain level of quality and performance.

What does the lifetime guarantee cover?

The lifetime guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects under normal use. It's advisable to check Sealey's specific warranty terms for full details.

Can I use this hammer for prying apart wood?

While the claw can be used for prying, it's designed primarily for nail removal. Excessive prying force could damage the claw or the material you are working with.

Troubleshooting

Hammer head feels loose.

Ensure the shaft is fully seated in the head. If loose, contact Sealey customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect, especially if the tool is new. Do not attempt to re-affix the head yourself.

Grip feels slippery.

Wipe the textured rubber grip with a dry cloth to remove any oils or dirt. For persistent slipperiness, consider wearing work gloves.

Nail won't start easily with the magnetic starter.

Ensure the nail head is properly seated against the magnet. Check that the nail is not excessively large or small for the magnet's strength. Clean the magnet face if it appears dirty.

Fibreglass shaft shows minor scuffs.

Minor cosmetic scuffs on the fibreglass shaft are normal and do not affect performance. If a deep gouge or crack is visible, cease use immediately and consider replacement.

Cons

  • May be heavier than desired for very light-duty tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Sealey Claw Hammer requires no setup; it is ready for immediate use out of the box.

Compatibility: This hammer is compatible with all standard nail sizes. Its primary function is for driving and removing nails, and general striking tasks. It is not designed for use with chisels or striking other hardened steel tools.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, wipe the head clean of any dust or debris. The fibreglass shaft can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
  2. Storage: Store the hammer in a dry environment to prevent rust on the steel head. Avoid storing it where it might be exposed to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect the head for any signs of damage or loosening. Check the shaft for cracks or splintering. Ensure the grip is secure and free from tears.
  4. Usage: Always use the hammer for its intended purpose. Avoid striking hardened surfaces or other tools not designed for impact.
