Sealey Claw Hammer - 16oz

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
