STRIKING TOOL SAFETY | | | Vaughan is committed to the education of consumers on the safe use of striking tools. A major part of this effort is advising consumers on how to select and use the correct tool for the job at hand. Through our advertising and collateral materials we urge retailers to caution their customers to always wear safety goggles when using striking tools. A warning label carrying the same message is affixed to each tool handle, and we publish a safety poster showing correct tools to use for various tasks, and listing important Do’s and Dont’s concerning the use of striking tools.
|  | | Hammers are arguably the most abused, most misused of all hand tools. Injuries can be caused by trying to strike too heavy a blow with a lightweight hammer, by using a damaged hammer and by using the wrong style of hammer for the task. There is no such thing as a “universal” hammer, and users are well advised to use only tools that have been designed for the job. | | 
| Ball Pein Hammer-For riveting, center punching and bending or shaping soft metal. Choose a size to match the task. | | 
| Hand Drilling Hammer-The only hammer to use with star drills, masonry nails, steel chisels and nail pullers. Easy to handle; packs plenty of punch. | | 
| Rawhide Mallet-For use in furniture assembly, shaping soft sheet metals or any task that requires non-marring blows. | | 
| Brick Hammer-Designed for cutting and setting bricks or blocks, and for chipping mortar. | | 
| Shingling Hatchet-The Pro’s choice for installing shakes and shingles. Handy gauge pin sets exposed length of shingle. Milled and crowned face sets nails cleanly. | | 
| Wallboard Tool-Multi-purpose tool scores wallboard, makes cutouts and sets nails with a perfect dimple. | 
| Curved Claw or Nail Hammer-For use with non-hardened, common or finishing nails only. Choose 16 or 20 oz. weights for general carpentry; lighter weights for model work or fine cabinetry. | 
| Straight Claw or Rip Hammer-For use with non-hardened, common or finishing nails only. Choose weights from 20 to 32 oz. for framing and ripping. | | | | Here are some basic rules for proper use of striking tools: | 
| - ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
- ALWAYS strike the surface squarely--avoid glancing blows
- DO NOT use claw hammers or hatchets on concrete, stone or hardened metal objects (such as nail pullers, pry bars, cold chisels, punches, star drills, drift pins, masonry nails, clevis or hitch pins, etc.)
- ALWAYS use a hammer of the right size and weight for the job
- NEVER use a brick hammer to strike metal
- Do not use a claw hammer to strike a cold chisel, punch or star drill.
- Never strike any hammer or hatchet with or against another hammer or hatchet.
| | NEVER USE DAMAGED TOOLS | | 
| Discard hammer or hatchet with chipped or battered face. | | 
| Discard hammer or hatchet with mushroomed striking face. | | | 
| Replace loose or cracked handle with replacement handle of same size and quality. | | 
| Discard hammer with cracked claw or eye section. | | | A well maintained, quality tool is a safer tool! | |
