Its shot-loaded head ensures safety and precision, while the rubber grip offers superior control.

A dead blow hammer is designed with a hollow head filled with shot or sand. This filling absorbs shock and vibration, preventing rebound and delivering a softer, more controlled impact. This makes them ideal for tasks where precision and safety are paramount.
The brass face is non-sparking, making the hammer safer to use in environments where flammable vapors or dust might be present. Brass is also softer than steel, providing a surface that is less likely to mar or damage the material being struck compared to a hardened steel face.
This model weighs 12 ounces.
While technically possible, it is not recommended. The brass face is not designed for driving nails, and the dead blow function is less beneficial for this task. Standard claw hammers are better suited for nail driving.
The hammer is backed by a lifetime guarantee, reflecting the manufacturer's confidence in its durability and quality.
Clean the brass face with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch or damage the brass. Minor surface marks from normal use are expected.
It is best suited for working with softer metals (like aluminum and brass), plastics, composites, and finished surfaces where minimizing damage or marring is important.
Ensure you are using the hammer for its intended purpose and on appropriate materials. The brass face is softer than steel and designed for controlled strikes, not aggressive shaping or demolition. If wear is rapid on intended materials, inspect for embedded debris on the face or object being struck.
The dead blow effect relies on the internal shot filling. If the hammer has been severely impacted or damaged, the filling might have shifted or compacted. Inspect the hammer for visible damage. If the effect is significantly diminished, it may indicate internal damage, and the hammer may need replacement.
Ensure the grip and your hands are clean and dry. Oils, grease, or moisture can reduce grip effectiveness. If the grip material itself is degrading, contact customer support regarding the lifetime guarantee.
This hammer requires no special setup. It is ready for immediate use out of the box.
The 12oz Brass Faced Dead Blow Hammer is compatible with a wide range of tasks requiring controlled impact. It is particularly well-suited for working with:
It is not designed for heavy demolition, driving nails, or working with hardened steel where a more aggressive striking surface is needed.
