DEAD BLOW HAMMER

A 'dead blow hammer' is a specialized mallet helpful in minimizing damage to the struck surface and in controlling striking force with minimal rebound from the striking surface.
Commonly constructed of polyurethane, they regularly appear in solid orange and black. Composite heads and fiberglass handle models are also available. Options include shock absorbent rubber grips, head cavities filled with shot and replaceable faces with metal screws for quick replacement.
Dead blow hammers have many uses. For example, in auto repair they are used for chassis work, dislodging stuck parts and hubcap installation and removal (e.g. knock-off hubs).
