dead-blow

Recoilless striking tool

A dead-blow hammer or mallet is designed to strike without bouncing back.

The head contains loose shot or sand that shifts on impact, absorbing recoil and delivering maximum force to the target.

Dead-blow hammers prevent damage to soft surfaces and reduce user fatigue: Use a dead-blow to seat the bearing without marring it.
