Choose the Correct Fit
Choose the smooth face for the work surface. A smooth face avoids the waffle imprint of a milled face, but careless strikes can still dent the work.
Check the hammer face, claw and handle before use. Secure the material and wear eye protection appropriate to the striking task.
Installation & Care
Keep the swing path clear and use controlled blows. Protect finished material with a block when levering nails out.
Wipe moisture and residue from the hammer. Replace a tool with a damaged striking face, cracked grip or bent handle.

Important Product Questions
Is this suitable for finished surfaces?
The smooth face suits work where a milled imprint is undesirable, but it is still a steel striking surface and can dent the material.
Does the grip eliminate vibration?
No. SHOCKSHIELD is designed to reduce vibration; it does not remove the need for controlled technique and sensible work breaks.
Can I use the claw as a heavy demolition bar?
Use the claw for appropriate nail pulling. For heavy separation or demolition, choose a purpose-built pry bar.
