Product Description
This is for those times when you need to strike objects hard without marring the material. That is where a dead blow hammer can be a lifesaver. It will absorb shock from impact, reduce rebound, and maximize the force applied due to its steel shot filled canisters. Advanced Polyurethane (PU) is a high-grade material designed specifically not to mar surfaces or absorb liquids. This dead blow hammer comes with a round grip for a better, ergonomic feel. The handle contains reinforced steel, adding strength and safety by stopping the hammer from breaking upon impact.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2017Size: 4 lbVerified PurchaseIts quality a previous reviewer complained of small holes in the rubber... its a dead blow hammer not a work of art my gosh who cares u can hardly see them!!!
As for the hammer it is great with the lead shot in the center it transfers the energy all to the hit object with almost no bounce back its almost like a instant double hit! Still i am a machinist and i use it to hit work pieces into my vise jaws to sit flat on my parallels.. it works but even with the huge 4lber i got u need to really hit it hard. I usually use a rawhide and that actually requires much less force to get it to hit the parallels! Though once i get it down and start to have issues with bounce and cant get both parallels tight the dead blow comes into its own. Its not the end all be allhammer its a tool that is useful when i need it. Other great uses
*brake rotors rusty beat em off..
*capentry tonge and grove
* anything where a hammer is needed but it is critical not to mark it up or damage it! This is great!!
For a machinist i still like the rawhide better but most agree that a olastic type or nylon hammer works best. Stanley makes a orange obe that worjs excellent. This does work though

- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024Size: 56 ozVerified PurchaseIt is 4oz heavier than my snap on deadblow ballpen but it packed so much more power and almost no bounce back. I just drove out 4 king pins in 20 minutes when it used to take me an hour or better. I have two other guys already ordering their own. I wil see what the long term quality is but for now I’m sold and it was 60 something bucks not 200+.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dead blow mallet (PU) material.
Size: 1 lbVerified PurchaseDead blow mallet (PU) material. 450 grams head weight. Overall length 280mm, head length 90mm x diameter = 37mm. Compact size for striking wooden handle chisels. No rebound or splintered tool handles. Suitable for gently positioning framing, cabinets and fine joinery work. Modern replacement for wooden mallet. Our newly qualified joiner/technician still uses his Beech mallet.

Size: 26 ozVerified PurchaseLittle smaller than I had hoped for, but the weight and dimensions are accurate. Good quality handle, good feel and great striking force for a smaller hammer. Brilliant.
- Amazon CustomerReviewed in Canada on April 9, 2019
5.0 out of 5 stars Great value and investment
Size: 9 lbVerified PurchaseI have used this 9 pound hammer to install a flywheeel on a 150 ton Cincinnati break press, and on several other very large couplings onto shafts. It moved the flywheel 1/8" at a time with zero bounce. Also a few good swings seating a 400 pound peice of hardox 500 into a fixture with rough torch cut ends. I have to say I am very impressed with this hammer so far. Plastic is definitely tough and has no marks on either the components or the hammers face. Definitely high impact plastic vs the cheaper soft rubber dead blows. Also it does not bouce back. Its worth mentioning the couplings were heated for a 0.0015" interference fit. No damage to plastic from heated impact either. Not sure if this was heat resistant in its descriptions but all and all I absolutely recommend this to anyone in the trades. Great quality tool. If this hammer broke tomorrow it already paid for itself at only 100 bucks and I'd order another same day. I have used similar $400 hammers of similar weight and cannot see any difference in quality.
