Review: Works Great, No Marking. - I just bought my second Stanley 42 oz. Dead Blow Hammer. The first was bought over 30 years ago. It was great for thirty years and then the plastic cover became sticky and started fracturing. I have owned and used a number of dead blow hammers before I settled on the Stanley. Replaceable face models are great, but you do have to replace the faces every once in a while. Some still mar the surface you are striking, so you need to hold a strike-block with the other hand and I have no third hand to hold the work. So I have 4 primary criteria for a great dead blow hammer: 1. Comfortable handle. 2. Non marring. 3. No bounce at all. 4. Very tough and sturdy. And, of course, it needs to be the correct weight for the job. For me, 42 oz. is a great weight, but if I am striking cutting tools like very sharp wood chisels I prefer a hammer with about half that weight. Stanley makes other weights. I am not able to determine what caused the plasticizers in the hammer to fail. This hammer is very popular in my home, having been "borrowed" by wife and children many times. My wife loves to tap paint and varnish cans closed using the hammer. My suspicion is that the paint thinner worked its way onto the plastic cover many times, and it was finally toast. Or it might just be that 30 years of heat, cold, humidity, UV, and chemicals takes a toll on plastic--it does on most forms of it. Plastic covered dashboards in cars don't generally last 30 years without cracking. Review: Glad I bought it... - Before I bought this I was questioning what was the actual size of this item given the conflicting info in the description vs. product questions. This item came in bright orange which is no problem as I am more interested in the functionality. It measures 15-1/2" long. Some of the info seemed to suggest it was nearly 30" long, but that could only be true if this was a sledge. At 52 ounces it offers some real heft. I had one of these for years until I finally broke it after maybe 25 years of hard use. It is marked as USA. Seems like a very good item. ## Features - Made To Withstand Even The Toughest Jobs - Designed With The User In Mind - Fit To Match The Needs In The Shop, At Home Or In The Field - Proven And Tested For Durability And Function In Real-World Conditions - Crafted With The User In Mind Using The High-Quality Materials And World-Class Craftsmanship ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00004UDMY | | Best Sellers Rank | #111,517 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #220 in Sledgehammers | | Brand Name | STANLEY | | Color | Factory | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (411) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00076174575507 | | Grip Type | Textured, Cushioned | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Head Material | Alloy Steel | | Head Style | Flat | | Included Components | Item | | Item Type Name | ST HMMR 5LB SOFT | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Stanley Black and Decker | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 076174575507 094700771742 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** STANLEY - **Color:** Factory - **Handle Material:** Alloy Steel - **Head Material:** Alloy Steel - **Item Weight:** 1 Pounds ## Images ![Stanley 57-550 5-Pound Compo-Cast Soft-Face Sledge Hammer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41EdmSxFAyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great, No Marking. *by A***D on June 30, 2013* I just bought my second Stanley 42 oz.

Toolshop arround here wanted up to 50$ for this exact same hammer ! By the way, don't go with cheaper version than this one, because you'll regret this later on when other are going to tear up really quickly. (A friend of mine bought one...) If you don't know which size to go, this one is good for most works. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stanley 57-532 21-Ounce Compo-Cast Standard Head Soft Face Hammer - C.R.
