Understanding the problem: What causes a loose hammer head?

A loose hammer head can be a frustrating problem that affects the effectiveness and safety of your tool. Before we dive into the solutions, it’s important to understand the common causes of a loose hammer head.

One possible cause is a worn-out or damaged handle. Over time, the handle can become loose or worn down, making the hammer head unstable. Another cause could be the use of the wrong size or type of handle for your hammer head.

Additionally, excessive force or misuse of the hammer can cause the head to become loose. For example, using a hammer to pry or strike a surface that is too hard or using it as a makeshift crowbar can lead to loosening of the head.

Now that we have a better understanding of the problem, let’s explore some solutions to fix a loose hammer head.
