DEAD BLOW MALLET

A dead blow mallet is a specialized mallet designed to minimize damage to the struck surface and control striking force, with minimal rebound from the surface .

Here are some key features and benefits of dead blow mallets:

• Reduced bounce back: Unlike a regular hammer, a dead blow mallet has minimal rebound after striking a surface. This is because the head of the mallet is typically filled with steel shot or lead pellets suspended in a elastomeric material. The suspended material absorbs the impact of the blow, reducing the bounce back. This is especially helpful in tight spaces or when working on delicate materials that could be damaged by a glancing blow from a regular hammer.
• Controlled striking force: The dead blow design also allows for more controlled striking force. The weight of the mallet head and the elasticity of the inner material determine the force of the blow. This allows you to deliver a firm but controlled strike without damaging the workpiece.
• Non-marring: The outer shell of the dead blow mallet is typically made of rubber or plastic. This non-marring surface helps to prevent scratches and dents on the struck surface.

Here are some common uses for dead blow mallets:

• Metalworking: They are used to seat metal parts together without damaging the surfaces or causing dents.
• Auto body repair: Body panels can be nudged into place without risk of damaging the paint job.
• Furniture assembly: They can be used to tap furniture joints together without marring the wood.
• Tile setting: They can be used to gently seat tiles into thinset mortar.
• Delicate demolition work: They can be used to break apart materials like drywall or plaster without damaging underlying structures.

Overall, dead blow mallets are a versatile tool that can be used in a variety of applications where controlled striking force and minimal damage to the workpiece are important.
