FAQs

What materials can I use this hammer on?

This hammer is suitable for a wide variety of materials where surface marking must be avoided, including wood, plastic, laminate, finished metal, and some composites. Always use the appropriate face (plastic or nylon) for the specific material.

How do I replace the hammer faces?

The faces are designed to screw in and out. Turn the current face counter-clockwise to remove it, and turn the new face clockwise until it is securely tightened.

What is the weight of the hammer?

The hammer weighs 680 grams (approximately 24 ounces).

Can I use this hammer for heavy-duty tasks?

No, this is a soft-faced hammer designed for tasks requiring minimal surface impact. It is not intended for demolition or high-impact striking.

Where can I buy replacement faces?

Replacement faces are typically available from authorized Draper Tools retailers or online stores that stock Draper Tools accessories.

Is the handle guaranteed to be unbreakable?

The handle is described as 'unbreakable,' indicating a high level of durability under normal working conditions. However, like all tools, extreme misuse could potentially cause damage.

Troubleshooting

Hammer face comes loose during use.

Ensure the replacement face is screwed in tightly before use. Periodically check the tightness of the face during prolonged use.

Surface marking is still occurring.

Check if the correct soft-faced replacement is installed. Ensure the faces are not damaged or contaminated with hard debris. For very delicate surfaces, consider an even softer faced hammer if available.

Handle feels uncomfortable or slippery.

Ensure your hands are clean and dry. The non-slip PVC grip is designed for optimal hold; if excessive slipping occurs, consider wearing work gloves.

Cons

  • Faces will eventually wear down and require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Draper Tools 72027 Soft Faced Hammer is ready for use upon arrival. Ensure the screw-in faces are securely tightened before the first use. If replacing faces, simply unscrew the old face counter-clockwise and screw in the new face clockwise until firm.

This hammer is designed to work with standard 38mm diameter screw-in replacement faces. Draper Tools offers specific soft plastic and nylon replacement faces compatible with this model.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the chrome-plated head and nylon handle with a clean, dry cloth after use. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
  • Face Maintenance: Inspect the faces regularly for wear. Replace them as soon as they show signs of significant damage or loss of shape to maintain optimal performance and protect your workpieces.
  • Storage: Store the hammer in a dry place, away from excessive heat or moisture. Ensure faces are clean and dry before storing to prevent corrosion or degradation.
