Deadblow Hammers

Dead blow hammers are specialised hammers that are used in applications where a high degree of control is required, such as in automotive repair and metalworking. They are also used in woodworking and construction to drive nails and other fasteners without damaging the surrounding area.

Dead blow hammers are designed with a hollow head that is filled with steel shot, sand, or other materials that provide additional weight and help to absorb shock. The hollow head also allows the hammer to distribute the force of the blow evenly, which reduces the amount of rebound and minimises the risk of damaging the surrounding area.

Dead blow hammers are available in different sizes and weights, and may have a soft or hard face, depending on the application. Soft-faced dead blow hammers are commonly used in automotive repair and metalworking, where they can be used to strike delicate parts without causing damage. Hard-faced dead blow hammers are typically used in woodworking and construction, where they can be used to drive nails and other fasteners into hard materials without damaging the surrounding area.

When using a dead blow hammer, it is important to select the appropriate size and weight for the job and to use it safely and properly. Always wear safety glasses and appropriate protective gear, and never strike an object with the hammer in an unsafe manner. Proper use of a hammer can make many tasks easier and more efficient, but improper use can lead to injury or damage to the object being worked on.
