Using the Klein 807-18 electrician's straight-claw hammer is easy. Just hold it by the perforated neoprene grip, which gives you a comfortable and secure hold. When using it for electrical work, like nailing in tight spots such as outlet boxes, the extra-long neck and narrow striking face will come in handy. For safety, make sure to strike the nail straight to avoid over - striking or incorrect strikes, as the durable plastic - alloy jacketing can only do so much to protect the neck. When you're done using the hammer, clean it with a dry cloth. Store it in a dry place to prevent any damage to the fiberglass shaft and the hammerhead. This will help keep your hammer in good condition for a long time.
