Various types of hammers are used in workshops, each with a specific purpose. One such type of Hammer is the dead blow hammer. As its name suggests, a dead blow hammer is designed to minimize the harm caused on the hitting surface or manage the striking force with minimal rebound. This is achieved by either a solid rubber or plastic head or a hollow head filled with sand or lead shot. This helps to distribute the energy of the hitting over a more extended period and reduces rebound.
Dead blow hammers are best suited for works that require soft hits and can be used in woodworking for tapping wood together or apart without harming the surface. They can also be used in automobile shops for dislodging parts and repairing dents. In this way, dead blow hammers are versatile tools that can be used for various purposes.
