Right and wrong way to use a ball peen hammer.
(c) Do not use a hammer handle for bumping parts in assembly, and never
use it as a pry bar. Such abuses will cause the handle to split, and a split
handle can produce bad cuts or pinches. When a handle splits or cracks, do not try
to repair it by binding with tape, string, or wire. Replace It.
