Product Information
Full details
This UNIOR Dead Blow Hammer is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable tool for impact applications requiring reduced rebound and enhanced striking force. Its key benefit lies in the internal metal balls that absorb shock, minimizing handle vibration and providing a more controlled, powerful strike. A caveat to consider is that the polyurethane faces are not replaceable and can be damaged by sharp objects.

FAQs
What makes this a 'dead blow' hammer?
A dead blow hammer contains loose material, such as metal balls or sand, inside the head. When the hammer strikes, this material shifts and absorbs the shock, preventing the hammer from bouncing back (rebounding) and transferring more energy into the struck object.
Can I use this hammer on metal surfaces?
Yes, the polyurethane faces are designed to be non-marring and can be safely used on most metal surfaces, especially when assembling components like ball bearings or fine metalwork.
What is the benefit of reduced vibration?
Reduced vibration means less shock is transmitted to your hands and arms. This leads to increased comfort during extended use, reduced fatigue, and can help prevent long-term joint strain.
Are the polyurethane faces replaceable?
No, the polyurethane faces on this UNIOR Dead Blow Hammer are permanently attached and are not designed to be replaced individually.
What should I avoid using this hammer on?
It is not recommended to use this hammer on sharp objects, as they can cut or damage the polyurethane faces. Always ensure the surface being struck is relatively flat and free of sharp protrusions.
How should I clean the hammer?
Wipe the polyurethane faces with a damp cloth after use. For the metal handle and housing, a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
Troubleshooting
Hammer feels too light for the task
This hammer is designed for controlled impact. If a heavier, traditional hammer is needed for brute force, consider a different tool. For its intended purpose, the weight distribution is optimized for dead blow action.
Polyurethane face shows minor scuffs
Light scuffing is normal wear and tear on polyurethane faces. Ensure the object being struck is free of sharp edges or burrs that could cause deeper damage. For significant damage, replacement of the hammer may be necessary as the faces are not individually replaceable.
Handle feels loose
Check the connection point between the handle and the hammer head. Ensure no debris is present and that the handle is securely fitted. Due to the design, a secure fit is crucial for optimal dead blow performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This hammer requires no assembly and is ready for use out of the box. Its compatibility is broad, working well with metal, wood, plastic, and stone surfaces when used appropriately.
