Dead blow hammers are used when you need to strike an object without causing damage to it or without creating a lot of rebound or vibration. Dead blow hammers minimize rebound because of the sand, shot, or other filler inside the head that absorbs the shock of the blow. A soft face hammer is a hammer with a head made from a soft, non-metallic material, designed to prevent damage to the workpiece or surface being struck.

Rawhide Mallets are used when you need to strike an object with force but want to avoid damaging or marring the surface. Common uses include leatherworking, woodworking, metalworking, masonry, and precision assembly.

Chipping Hammers are handheld tools used primarily for removing material, such as excess metal or slag
