FAQs

What is a dead blow hammer?

A dead blow hammer is a type of mallet designed to deliver a heavy blow without rebounding. Its head is filled with shot or sand, which absorbs the shock and transfers the energy directly to the impact surface.

What is the primary benefit of the non-rebound design?

The non-rebound design ensures that the hammer's force is fully transferred to the workpiece, reducing wasted energy and minimizing the risk of the hammer bouncing back, which can cause injury or damage.

What types of applications is this hammer best suited for?

It is ideal for automotive repair (chassis, wheels, transmissions), metalworking, and any application where controlled, heavy impacts are needed on delicate surfaces without causing damage.

How does the force distribution feature help?

The force is spread across the entire face of the hammerhead, preventing concentrated pressure points that could dent or mar the workpiece.

What does TPR stand for and why is it used?

TPR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It is used for its durability, shock-absorbing properties, and ability to provide a comfortable, non-slip grip.

Is this hammer suitable for demolition or heavy-duty prying?

No, this hammer is designed for controlled striking and precision work. For demolition or prying, a different type of tool, such as a sledgehammer or pry bar, would be more appropriate and safer.

What is the warranty on the Sealey DBH01?

The Sealey Premier range tools, including this hammer, typically come with a Lifetime Guarantee*. Please refer to Sealey's official warranty documentation for full details and terms.

Troubleshooting

Hammer feels like it has rebound.

Ensure the shot-loaded head is functioning correctly. If the hammer has been dropped or severely impacted, the internal shot may have compacted. Contact Sealey support if the issue persists.

Grip feels slippery.

Wipe the soft-grip handle with a dry cloth. Ensure your hands are clean and free from grease or oil before use.

Visible damage to the TPR head or handle.

Discontinue use immediately. Inspect for structural integrity. For damage not covered under normal wear and tear, refer to warranty information for potential replacement or repair.
