Определение и Значение "dead blow hammer"

What is a "dead blow hammer"?

A dead blow hammer is a type of hammer designed to minimize rebound and prevent damage to the surface being struck. It has a hollow head filled with sand or steel shot, which absorbs the force of the impact and reduces the bounce back when striking. This feature makes the dead blow hammer ideal for tasks that require controlled, precise blows, such as assembling parts, driving components, or working with delicate materials. It is commonly used in automotive repair, woodworking, and construction to prevent damage to both the tool and the workpiece.
