Frequently Asked Questions
What is a chipping hammer used for?
A chipping hammer is used to remove rust, scale, and old paint from metal surfaces, particularly in ship maintenance. It helps prepare steel hulls and decks for painting or welding.
Can I use this hammer on all types of metal?
Yes, it is suitable for use on steel and other ferrous metals. However, for softer materials such as aluminum, a softer-faced hammer may be more appropriate to avoid damage.
How do I maintain my chipping hammer?
After each use, wipe the hammer with a clean, dry cloth to remove moisture and debris. Periodically oil the head and handle to prevent corrosion and keep the wood conditioned. Store in a dry place.
Is the handle replaceable?
