Dead Blow Hammers

Dead Blow hammers all have a chamber inside the head that contains loose material. It could be sand, steel or a non-sparking material. The purpose of the loose material is to absorb the rebound of a strike; the shot shifts forward a fraction of a second after the impact to absorb the recoil. 

 The Hammer Source has a variety of dead blows including polyurethane coated, composite head and cast aluminum. Sizes range from 8oz to 12lb.

Dead Blow Alternatives - Some situations prevent the use of a dead blow due to the chance of shot entering the work area. We suggest you check out a couple of alternatives; Split or Solid Head hammers and the Solid Urethane hammer with steel core. Call us toll free 877-496-2537 to talk about other suggestions.
