Product Information

Full details

This Sealey Premier Brass Faced Dead Blow Hammer (12oz) is designed for professionals and serious DIYers who need a non-rebounding, non-sparking hammer for precise striking applications. Its key benefit is providing controlled, effective blows without damaging sensitive surfaces or creating ignition risks. A potential caveat is its specific weight and material, making it unsuitable for heavy demolition or general-purpose tasks where a steel hammer would be preferred. The hammer features a brass-faced, shot-loaded head for reduced rebound and enhanced safety, along with a comfortable PVC grip for extended use.

FAQs

What makes this hammer 'dead blow'?

The 'dead blow' feature comes from the shot-loaded head. The shot inside absorbs energy upon impact, significantly reducing rebound and creating a more controlled, dead blow effect.

Is this hammer truly non-sparking?

Yes, the brass face is designed to be non-sparking, making it safe for use in environments where flammable vapors or dust may be present, reducing the risk of ignition.

What is the primary benefit of the brass face?

The primary benefit is that it is non-sparking and provides a softer striking surface compared to steel, which is ideal for working with materials that could be damaged by a harder hammer or where sparks are a hazard.

How does the shot-loading in the head work?

The head is filled with loose shot (like lead or steel pellets). When the hammer strikes, the shot shifts and absorbs some of the impact energy, which is what reduces the rebound and transfers more force directly into the work piece.

Can I use this hammer for heavy demolition?

No, this hammer is designed for controlled, precise striking rather than heavy demolition. Using it for demolition could damage the hammer or lead to unintended consequences due to its specific design.

What maintenance is required for the PVC grip?

The PVC grip requires minimal maintenance. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry it afterwards. Ensure it remains free from oil and grease for optimal grip.

Does the 'Lifetime guarantee*' apply to normal wear and tear?

The Lifetime Guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and faults in materials. Normal wear and tear from regular use is generally not covered. Please refer to the specific warranty documentation provided by Sealey for full details.

Troubleshooting

Hammer head feels loose.

Discontinue use immediately. Inspect for damage. If the head is loose, it may indicate a defect. Contact Sealey support or the retailer for warranty service.

Excessive rebound observed.

Ensure the hammer is being used correctly for its intended purpose. This hammer is designed for reduced rebound. If rebound is still excessive, the internal shot may have shifted due to severe impact; contact Sealey support.

Brass face showing significant wear.

Normal wear is expected over time with heavy use. If the wear is uneven or causing performance issues, consider replacing the hammer or consulting Sealey for repair options.

Care: To maintain the hammer's performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the brass faces and grip with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring the hammer is dried thoroughly afterward.
  2. Inspection: Periodically inspect the hammer head and grip for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening. Ensure the head remains securely attached.
  3. Storage: Store the hammer in a dry, protected environment to prevent corrosion and damage. Avoid storing it where it could be struck by other tools or objects.
