How to use

Position the head on the material to be split or broken and adopt a stable stance. Grip the 36" handle with both hands, using a controlled, forceful swing to transfer the head's mass into the target. For log splitting, aim for cracks or the wood grain and, when needed, drive a wedge to initiate separation. Inspect the tool before each use to ensure the head is secure and the handle is free of cracks or damage. Always use personal protective equipment such as eye protection, gloves, and sturdy footwear when operating the hammer.

Recommendations

Store the hammer in a dry place and keep the head and handle connection checked regularly for wear. Use on stable, level ground and maintain a safe distance from bystanders while striking. Replace the handle or discontinue use if any structural damage is found.
