USE For building and cutting wood: striking, demolition, knocking in wedges etc.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES Safety:
- Rounded edges on the striking surface: delays burring and lessens the risk of chipping.
- Rubber mis-hit guard: Protects the handle and lessens jarring from mis-hits.
Flat side faces: reduces the risk of splitting wooden posts.
Forged carbon steel, hardened and tempered.
Composite Novagrip handle:
- fibreglass core: greater strength against mis-hits
- elastomeric anti-slip and anti-vibration handle: comfortable to hold.
- pierced handle for hanging the tool.
- flush socket handle fitting: protects the end of the handle.
SAFETY ADVICE - Wear glasses, gloves and protective clothing.
The main risk from these tools is posed by metal chips flying out either from the tool itself or the object being struck. Chips may be due to a defect in the metal, simple aging of the tool or incorrect use.
- Sledge hammers can cause sparks: do not use in an inflammable or explosive atmosphere.

MAINTENANCE ADVICE For sledge hammers and mauls the appearance of a burr can result from two different things:
- if the burr is produced quickly and cracks appear after an hour of use, there could be a defect in the metal or in the tool's heat treatment. You should stop using the tool and request a replacement under warranty from your supplier.
- on the other hand if a light burr without cracks appears after intensive use, this is just normal aging which appears when two metal surfaces are struck together. It is sufficient simply to refresh the surface, remake the chamfer and round the edges with a file or grinder.
When grinding, it is essential to avoid overheating the ground surface, as this will destroy the hardness obtained by the original heat treatment.
