Dead blow hammers, plastic hammers, and rubber hammers, these are the three most common types of nonmetallic sticks.
They're convenient in a variety of industries automotive service.
Dead blow hammers work because they usually have
their metal cases ink internally, and inside the head is a hollow cavity of you know in zinc. It has a bunch of beads
in it sometimes, and it usually varies.
They're you know metal beads. Still, others which are to use different materials,
but for the most part, they're just filled with little metal beads, and you can hear it shaking around.
They do that because
the mass is separated from the body of the hammer, so when you hammer you, swing back all the beads, go to the backside, and
then hit the surface, all the beads shift to the front.
It prevents them from wanting to bounce off that's why they call it a
dead blows because when you hit it tends to want to stop it lands kind of like suspension on a bicycle or on a car it goes
down on a bump, and it just falls it doesn't want to bounce off, and that's great.
Neiko's name will be taken whenever the Dead Blow Hammer list will mention. Its unique color, design, and performance make it different from others. It contains small steel balls inside the head, which add extra force and eliminates rebound, making it an ideal auto bodywork device. This tool doesn't harm surfaces like a rubber mallet or any other hammer.
The company has made many versions of this dead blow hammer. If you want to buy one for heavy work, then you should go with a 4 pounds version, but if you want it for household usage, then 2 pounds version must be sufficient for you.
If we talk about its handle, then its 2lb version has a diameter of 2.85inches X 2.15 inches. The diamond textured grip at the bottom makes it perfect for holding and keeps the hammer in hands after striking the surface. Overall it is a good device, and considering the price, it is the best among all five; that's why it is on the top of our list.

This dead blow hammer from SATA, a company of Taiwan, is quite decent when it comes to the performance. Like other dead blow hammers, it also contains a small steel ball bearing in the head, which reduces the rebound. It is a perfect tool for sensitive works.
It is made of polyurethane, versatile material and commonly used to make everyday household items and machinery. The material is highly durable and resistant to many solvents, including gas, brake fluid, and antifreeze also.
It is very lightweight and looks very nice in hands, and the grips make it very comfortable to hold while working. The major disadvantage of this item is that the company provides only 30 days warranty on the hammer from the purchase, which I think is not sufficient. Overall this is another good option in this price segment.

The quality of plastic skin on this tool is excellent. The beads inside the hammer give it a solid blow when you swing it. You can also use this tool to assemble and disassemble items such as soft metal and wood without marring them.
A mallet works in some instances, but a dead blow hammer allows you to have that extra punch. This single-piece design item has equally distributed weight in all areas. Its price is a bit high when compared to other dead blows of its category.

This Titan 63144 dead blow hammer is a complete set of four pieces with different sizes. This four-piece set contains one 8 oz, one 16 oz, one 24 oz, and one 32 oz hammer. The color looks very nice and provides a classy look to these dead blow hammers.
The build quality is also a plus point of this item. There are some advantages of buying a set instead of a single piece as there are many household and garage work in which you don't know which size should be better for that particular job.
I will recommend this set if you need different sizes of hammers, not because it has four pieces at a very low price. For a set of four dead blows, I think the price is excellent. The handling quality is good but not as comfortable as the company advertises.
