NEIKO 02847A 2 LB Dead Blow Hammer, Neon Orange | Unibody Molded | Checkered Grip | Spark and Rebound Resistant

Delivered with care

This little guy has been an invaluable addition to my tool box. If you do any degree of auto repair (or I'm sure many other projects and use cases for around the house wld also benefit as well) then this thing is a Godsend. Great for parts you need to get a little rough with, but can't risk damaging with metal on metal, or creating a spark. I was skeptical that the weight would be enough (I was changing out both front axels as well as control arms), but ,surprisingly, it packs a punch for it's size and you can generate a good amount of force really easily with it due to it's build and weight distribution. It is, for the most part, truly a dead blow hammer, which I was also skeptical about. I figured if I swung it even a little hard against metal it would probably still rebound some and likely hit whatever was above it, but that hasn't been the case. If you've ever changed one, then you are most likely well aware of how tough it can be to free up the castle nut (at least on Subaru or most Japanese cars) part of the control arm to take it off. This made fairly short work of it. On one side I had to place a 2x4 on it and then hit that with it, but they both came loose with 1-2 strikes and didn't cause any damage. So it is definitely very effective for what it is. The surface area of the head is broad and tapered enough that it will be FAR less likely to damage whatever you are hitting or bend it up/dig into it. Just clean force with little to no rebound. Exactly what you would expect from a dead blow hammer, but at a much cheaper price point than the others I've seen. For the weight of it, I honestly don't think you will find a better one, even if you spent 2-3 times what this one costs. I've used it consistently for several months, and while there is one small negligible tear on the rubber cover of it (mostly user error), it has held up like a champ. Speaking of the rubberized surface, the grip portion also has a textured surface to it, so between the material used and the added texture, the grip feel is amazing. Doesn't feel like it could fly out of your hand at any moment, unlike some others I've used over the years. I would definitely recommend giving it a shot for this price. Just be aware that it is fairly light, so just don't go into it thinking you are going to get a heavy duty sledge out of this, and in some cases you may not be able to move larger pieces of metal that are frozen in place. Know what you're buying, and you will not be disappointed!

Gift for my son. Worked perfect! Great hammer!

I needed a mallet with enough mass to loosen a press fit headset on my bicycle. This hammer isn't much heavier than the one I had in my tool box, but it packs a bigger punch. The BBs inside the head help to eliminate the rebound. I used a special tool to get inside the headset. This hammer did the job of knocking those press fit bearing cups loose. It's now part of my bike mechanic tool set.

Got myself a nice bright orange dead blow hammer. I did not realize it would have granuals inside, but it helps to push the weight. I used it to knock off a brake rotor and it did the job. I am giving it 4 stars as one of the little plugs fell out after two wacks. But. Yeah it works great and feels good in my hand.

Good for price

Purchase this item for Home, super easy to grip and feels very durable. I use this at my warehouse job, this thing took a beating and never had any issues with it. Has a good weight behind it as well. Would highly recommend for purchase!

Great Hammer.....zero issues! I've used this hammer at least a dozen times to free up tight bolts using it to hit wrench. Has worked like a charm, great grip as well. Highly recommend for those times you need one. Also cleans up well 👍

Solid and heavy but slightly big for house works.

Diese Hämmer sind eine sehr angenehme Überraschung, gefühlt sind sie weniger hart zu den Gelenken und gut zu kontrollieren.

I used this to bed down 200 concreate pavers ... it was invaluable and has survived the punishment I have gien it admirably. thoroughly recommend.

Good quality, functions as expected.

Ainda não utilizei, porém como já utilizo o menor, creio que seja igual porém com maior impacto
