What Is an 18 oz Dead Blow Hammer Used For?
The 18 oz. head with a steel shot-filled canister absorbs bounce and concentrates force, making it ideal for seating parts, knocking loose components, aligning panels, and assembling press fits without marring or glancing blows.
How Does a Dead Blow Hammer Reduce Rebound?
On impact, loose steel shot inside the head lags behind the strike, absorbing the elastic recoil energy. The result: nearly all swing force transfers into the workpiece instead of bouncing back into your hand.
GWHDB16 18 oz vs. 32 oz Dead Blow
Choose the 18 oz. for precision work and one-handed control on automotive parts; step up to heavier sizes only for mass and frame work. For most shop and garage tasks, the 18 oz. is the versatile sweet spot.
