Capri ToolsCP10100 C100 Dead Blow Hammer, 20", Orange, 6 lbs.

PRODUCT WAS GOOD

Great tool worked wonderfully, I'm very satisfied. Well made.

I have used this 9 pound hammer to install a flywheeel on a 150 ton Cincinnati break press, and on several other very large couplings onto shafts. It moved the flywheel 1/8" at a time with zero bounce. Also a few good swings seating a 400 pound peice of hardox 500 into a fixture with rough torch cut ends. I have to say I am very impressed with this hammer so far. Plastic is definitely tough and has no marks on either the components or the hammers face. Definitely high impact plastic vs the cheaper soft rubber dead blows. Also it does not bouce back. Its worth mentioning the couplings were heated for a 0.0015" interference fit. No damage to plastic from heated impact either. Not sure if this was heat resistant in its descriptions but all and all I absolutely recommend this to anyone in the trades. Great quality tool. If this hammer broke tomorrow it already paid for itself at only 100 bucks and I'd order another same day. I have used similar $400 hammers of similar weight and cannot see any difference in quality.

Little smaller than I had hoped for, but the weight and dimensions are accurate. Good quality handle, good feel and great striking force for a smaller hammer. Brilliant.

Dead blow mallet (PU) material. 450 grams head weight. Overall length 280mm, head length 90mm x diameter = 37mm. Compact size for striking wooden handle chisels. No rebound or splintered tool handles. Suitable for gently positioning framing, cabinets and fine joinery work. Modern replacement for wooden mallet. Our newly qualified joiner/technician still uses his Beech mallet.

This is actually a really good size, my background is heavy duty diesel mechanic and these work really well. A bit of extra horse power.
