Important: Health, Safety and Environment

Last Saturday I bought, or rather a friend who was going to Focus Do It All bought me a 7lb sledge hammer.

It had a health an safety notice on it which can be paraphrased thus:

"Whilst this hammer can hit hard, don't hit anything hard with it"

Strange. What it actually said was, and I quote:

"Use this hammer to drive and pull common nails only"

What? Pull nails? it doesn't have a claw so how are you going to do that? Besides which what is a common nail, and why use such a large hammer to drive one in? Any way, it goes on:

"Never strike tool, hardened nails or other hard objects as chipping can occur, possibly resulting in eye damage or other injury.

MUST WEAR EYE, FACE AND BODY PROTECTION WHEN THIS TOOL IS BEING USED"

So don't strike your tool with a sledge hammer. You have been warned!
