Striking at an angle (hitting on points or corners only) will cause the delicate carbide tips to chip.\u003cbr\u003e- Break-In Period: Exercise extreme caution when using a brand-new tool. Gradually break in the sharp edges by slowly rounding them off and allowing the tool to adapt to your workflow during initial use.\u003cbr\u003e- Delicate Nature of Carbide: Carbide products are extremely hard yet brittle and sensitive to impact shock. Please handle with care.\u003cbr\u003e- Note on Chipping: Due to the nature of carbide tools, improper striking angles may cause minor chipping along the edges or corners. This is a normal characteristic of high-hardness striking tools and is not considered a product defect. Chipped edges can easily be repaired and re-sharpened using a diamond grinding stone.\u003cbr\u003e- Storage: Wipe away dust, moisture, and debris immediately after use. Store in a dry location.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miki Giken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53705368699192,"sku":"83383-518","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/6778\/4504\/files\/Photoroom_20261101_071534.jpg?v=1793477804","url":"https:\/\/niwakokoro.com\/products\/miki-giken-teppei-ishizuchi-stone-hammer-masonry-hammer-15mm-beta-type-double-carbide-tips-total-length-300mm-1","provider":"Niwa Kokoro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
