Dead blow hammer

The plastic hammer (or mallet ) is a hammer, whose heads are made of plastic (eg, nylon ). He often used the positioning and alignment of machine or mounted workpieces and the Edit soft metals. Spread this tool is mainly engaged in metal workshops.

The advantage of this tool is that it transfers, in contrast to the rubber hammer impulsive force, but the material of the positioning steel or metal workpiece is not damaged, what would be the case with a hammer with a steel head.

In addition, a plastic hammer almost recoilless ( anti reflex hammer ) if in his head is a cavity filled with sand. Hammer with a pendulum in the head are completely recoilless.
