    Downsides of Deadblow hammers? Why aren’t they all deadblow?

    Wrong choice for using with chisels, punches, etc. You want a 'direct connection' with these types of tools. Dead blow types tend to reduce rebound which is a plus in some situations.

    Impact sockets

    I guess i'm the voice of dissension here. I haves only used them twice (friend of mine owns them) and the experience has been bad. Poor fit (metric nuts) and in both instances, the sockets have failed (split walls) when hit with a powerful impact wrench (Snap-On XT7100). The good news is that HF...
