Method of holding hammer and chisel

If the locksmith's hammer and chisel should be held, the hand holding the hammer should be held about 2-3 cm in front of the end of the hammer handle and should be held tightly; The hand holding the chisel is caught in the jaws at a position of about 1-2 cm below the chisel top, and the chisel body is gently supported by four fingers.

Pay attention when hammering, keep your eyes on the chisel instead of the chisel top, have strength and confidence when swinging the hammer, and complete the action at one time. When the hammer falls on the top of the chisel, the chisel mouth can swing up and down and left and right, otherwise it will damage the chisel mouth and hurt the hand holding the chisel. In addition, before each use, be sure to check and dispose of the "rotary iron" at the top of the chisel to avoid the "rotary iron" falling off and hurting your hand when hammering.
