Dead Blow Hammer

Dead Blow Hammers, Ball Peen Hammers, Sludge Dead Blow Hammers, and More

Dead blow hammers are specialized mallets for minimizing damage to struck surfaces. Do-It-Yourselfers (DIYs) and professionals can use them to knock and tap joints together. 

Read on to learn more about how Capri Tools’ dead blow hammers work. We’ll also discuss what makes dead blow hammers absorb the flow fibration. 

How Do Capri Tools’ Dead Blow Hammers Work?

Capri Tools’ dead blow hammers have hollow heads that are filled with steel shot to distribute the force of the strike over a longer stretch of time. 

When the hammer is swung, the shot dispels all of the energy into the surface being struck. Because the impact is less sharp and has almost no rebound compared to a solid hammer, the blow is often called “dead.”

If a hammer’s head breaks during use, it may scatter steel shot. As such, you should avoid using our dead blow hammers in certain settings, such as manufacturing clean rooms, where contamination could occur. 

What Can I Use Capri Tools’ Dead Blow Hammers For?

Capri Tools’ dead blow hammers are a must-have for every toolkit. You can use our first-rate dead blow hammers for a variety of tasks, including:

  • Hammering objects with a great amount of controlled force, such as chisels
  • Dislodging stuck parts
  • Popping dents out of sheet metal
  • Driving wooden joints together
