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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it thus have a metal rod on the handle?**
A: I would assume so as it is very stout.  The handle is covered with plastic so can not tell for sure.

**Q: Is there any sand or shot inside the head of this or not?**
A: There is Lead shot inside the head of these anti-rebound hammers.

**Q: Is there any sand or shot inside the head of this or not?**
A: There is sand.

**Q: Is this hammer suitable for home bike mechanic works? Install the crankset, stem or fork, etc.? Is not too hard or soft, can damage frame parts?**
A: I use it on assembly of furniture. Does not Mar or leave marks. Perfect balance and solid. Would work well on metal as long as it's not sharp edged. You can damage this hammer striking a sharp edge.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not much to say other than it's doing the job as expected...
*by M***F on June 27, 2013*

I missed this tool in my toolbox and the Dead-blow function of this soft face hammer is really nice. 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.
