Practical tips for best results

• Grip with both hands on the fibreglass handle for maximum control and power transfer.
• Stand with a stable stance and swing in controlled, deliberate arcs to minimize rebound and protect your joints.
• Regularly inspect the head for cracks or mushrooming and keep the handle clean and dry to maintain grip and longevity.
• Store in a dry area to preserve the integrity of the fibreglass handle and prevent corrosion on the steel head.

The 14 lb head delivers the force needed for tough materials, while the 870 mm fibreglass handle provides leverage and reach to maximize every swing—reducing the number of strikes required and helping you work more efficiently on time-sensitive projects.
