Use dead blow hammers for maintenance, repair, assembly, adjustment, shop tasks, and tile installation where controlled impact is important.
Match weight, face, and handle to the task
Consider the desired striking force, face diameter, handle length when listed, and whether the workpiece needs a non-marring or surface-conscious contact area.
Work around finished and delicate surfaces
Rubber-covered, soft-face, polyurethane, and non-marring contact surfaces can help reduce marks and scratches on equipment, tile, painted, wood, metal, and other finished materials.
Look for task-specific control features
Available features include shot-filled or internally weighted heads, slip-resistant grips, wide end caps, steel-reinforced handles, chemical resistance, spark resistance, and interchangeable plastic faces.
A compact dead blow option for controlled installation and adjustment tasks.
A soft-face model for controlled striking force in maintenance and shop work.
Options range from targeted to broad striking surfaces.
Select models provide compact grips or longer handles for use and control.

Plan the right fit before choosing
Reduce rebound for more controlled strikes
Dead blow action is designed to dampen impact and limit bounce-back. Several options use steel shot or internal weighting to shift weight within the head during a strike, helping direct impact into the workpiece.
- Choose shot-filled or steel-shot-core designs for sustained impact and reduced bounce.
- Consider dead blow designs that also absorb shock when controlled impact is a priority.
- Look for flat striking faces when direct, consistent strikes are needed.
Select the contact surface for the material being struck
The category includes soft-face, polyurethane, rubber-covered, plastic-face, and non-marring contact designs. These options are intended to help protect finished, delicate, painted, wood, metal, tile, and equipment surfaces during striking.
- Polyurethane faces and bodies resist chipping, splitting, cutting, or abrasion on select models.
- Rubber-covered heads help reduce marking and scratching on delicate surfaces.
- Interchangeable plastic faces allow the face to be selected for the material and desired level of surface protection.
Balance striking force with handling needs
Available tools range from 18 oz. and 21 oz. models to heavier 10.5 lb. and 6 lb. options. Face diameters include 1-3/4 in., 1-15/16 in., 2-3/16 in., 2-3/8 in., and other specified designs, while select models offer 9 in., 14 in., or 15 in. handles.
- Choose lighter models for compact, controlled hammering and heavier models for substantial striking force.
- Compare face diameter for targeted or broader striking contact.
- For grip and tool retention, look for rubber surfaces, non-slip handles, wide end caps, or a lanyard hole where offered.
