What do you use dead blow hammers for?

[crewchief888]

mainly for breaking my thumb...

I think most people in this thread focused on soft face dead blows and their uses. You really owe it to your self to get at least one ball pein dead blow.

Can you post a link to one?

Thanks

I almost went with Armstrong on these a few weeks ago. These are awesome prices for Estwing

I've got more than a dozen, from a few ounces to a full-length BFH of several pounds.

As mentioned, there are hard-face dead blow, lead, bronze, brass, soft face plastic, full soft face/handle and rawhide, among others.

Problem with rawhide is the new faces are mondo expensive.

+1 on the replacements. They probably cost twice as much as I paid for the hammer - of course that was 35 years ago.

I use mine most often to properly seat gears when a using a proper pusher is a little much.

Peter, you truly are German Engineered! Pushing 70 and doing that kind of gruntwork. Must be the years of lugging around flight cases to and fro and circular breathing exercises.

Are those knockoffs reverse thread?

that was my thought also, nice safety wiring by the way.

smashing walnuts...........

I use my 20 ton hydraulic press for that. Those walnut shells are tough.

Anything I want to hit without scarring. It is much easier than a metal hammer and a block of wood

I think about half this board owns trusty cook hammers, myself included. They constantly run good deals in the hot deals sections. Go get you some!

On the advise of my lawyer I will not be answering this question

I was looking at their site, and the hammers are a good deal, but the shipping is as much as the hammers!

Wait for one of their specials. That's what I did and it was worth the wait.

Plus I never get tired of looking at the included laminated cards with all the hammer pictures on them.
