Grip the handle near the end for better leverage, keep your wrist straight, and strike nails squarely with the hammer face. Use the claw to remove nails when needed. Always wear safety glasses, inspect the tool for cracks or damage before use, and avoid striking hardened surfaces or tools that could rebound.

Wear eye protection, keep fingers clear of the strike zone, use appropriate nails for the material, and avoid using the hammer on materials that could shatter or crack. Inspect the tool before each use and store it in a dry place to prevent handle deterioration.

Wipe the handle and head after use to remove dust and moisture. Store in a dry, cool place. Check for cracks or loose components before use, and avoid exposing the tool to extreme heat or moisture that could degrade the fiberglass or head integrity.

Fiberglass handles offer a balance of durability, reduced vibration, and comfort during extended use, while the hardened steel head provides reliable striking power. This combination typically provides good longevity and a comfortable grip for general DIY tasks.

Consider weight feel and balance, handle material (fiberglass vs other materials), claw design for nail removal efficiency, and your typical project load. If you expect frequent use, prioritize a comfortable ergonomic grip and durable head construction.

This tool adheres to standard expectations for hand tools in construction and DIY settings. Always follow general safety guidelines and use the tool within its intended scope to ensure safe operation.

Store in a dry area, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Wipe down after use to remove debris, inspect for cracks or wear, and keep the hammer head and handle clean and dry to prevent deterioration.
