Frequently asked questions
Does the detachable shaft simplify the sterilization process?
Yes, the detachable shaft mechanism is specifically designed for ease of maintenance. By pulling the back hammer, the crossbar separates from the shank, allowing for thorough cleaning and effective sterilization of all internal components.
