FAQs

What is a dead blow hammer?

A dead blow hammer is a type of hammer that has a hollow head filled with shot or sand. This filling absorbs the shock of impact, preventing rebound and delivering a more controlled, solid blow.

What is the main advantage of the Sealey DBH02?

Its main advantage is the shot-loaded head, which produces heavy, controlled impacts without bounce-back, making it safer and more effective for delicate tasks.

What materials are the head and shaft made from?

The head and shaft are constructed from Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR).

How heavy is the Sealey DBH02?

The hammer weighs 1.27kg (approximately 2.8lb or 45oz).

Can this hammer be used for general construction or demolition?

No, it is designed for more delicate applications like automotive repair and assembly where controlled impact is crucial. It is not intended for heavy-duty demolition.

What is the warranty on this product?

The Sealey DBH02 comes with a Lifetime Guarantee*.

How does the shot-loaded head work?

When the hammer strikes, the shot inside the head shifts to the impact point, transferring maximum energy to the workpiece and preventing the hammer head from bouncing back.

Troubleshooting

Hammer feels unusually light or ineffective.

Ensure the shot within the head is settling correctly. Sometimes, a sharp impact on a hard surface (not the workpiece) can redistribute the shot if it has compacted. This is rare.

TPR head shows excessive wear or damage.

Cease use immediately. Excessive wear or damage indicates the hammer may be used for applications beyond its intended scope or has been subjected to extreme conditions. Inspect for proper use and consider replacement if safety is compromised.

Grip feels slippery.

Clean the soft grip handle with a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly. Ensure hands are clean and free from oil or grease before use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers powerful, controlled blows without rebound.
  • Reduces risk of workpiece damage due to its non-bouncing head.
  • Ergonomic soft grip handle enhances user comfort and control.
  • Durable TPR construction for longevity.
  • Ideal for delicate automotive and mechanical applications.

Cons

  • Not suitable for general demolition or heavy-duty striking where rebound is acceptable or desired.
  • Weight (1.27kg) may be too substantial for very fine, intricate tasks.
  • TPR head might wear faster than traditional steel faces under extreme abrasion.
  • Primarily designed for impact, not for prying or chiseling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Sealey DBH02 is ready for immediate use upon unboxing. No assembly or setup is required.

Compatibility: This hammer is a hand tool designed for impact applications and is compatible with most common workshop tasks. It is not intended for use with any power tool accessories.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the TPR head and shaft with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grease. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the TPR material.
  2. Storage: Store the hammer in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Ensure the head is not in contact with sharp objects.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the TPR head and grip for any signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Replace the hammer if significant degradation is observed to maintain safety and performance.
