Using your 18oz Ox Pro California Framing Hammer is easy. To start, hold the hammer by the hickory handle firmly. If you're working in a hard - to - reach place, use the magnetic starter to hold the nail in place. When striking, aim at the nail head and use the long handle to get a good swing for a strong strike. Make sure the milled face of the hammer is in full contact with the nail to prevent slipping. For safety, always wear appropriate eye protection when using the hammer. After use, wipe the hammer clean with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Keep it in a dry place to prevent rusting, especially the steel head. Check the handle regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to replace the handle to maintain the hammer's performance and safety.
