Using the Milwaukee 20oz curved claw smooth face hammer is easy. Just hold it firmly by the ShockShield™ grip. The magnetic nail set makes it convenient to pick up nails. When driving nails, use the smooth face of the hammer. For pulling nails, use the curved claw. Make sure to wear safety goggles while using the hammer. After use, clean the hammer with a dry cloth. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. If the ShockShield™ grip gets dirty, you can wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid using the hammer for tasks it's not designed for to keep it in good condition.
