Capri Tools 1 lb Dead Blow Hammer, Orange Polyurethane Handle - 10096 C096

Nkaozoua Her: The color is more of a red vs blaze orange. Not a huge deal. The weight feels good. My only complaint is that the grip is slippery. I like a solid rubbery style grip. This grip is poly. Which is basically a hard plastic. Honestly, i might have to hockey tape wrap it. Some time when working in the shop, i have to swing that mf pretty hard. Oily hands with sweaty gloves + slippery grip just doesnt add up. I need a solid grip hammer.

Scurvy Broom: Let me just say that after almost a year of use, and a co-worker backed over it with an F-150; back left tire then front left tire. I was amazed to find no damage indicating it had even been run over at all. Still strikes hard and doesn't shock your hand.

PierrePierre: I checked the weight on a scale and it came out slightly under 3 lb 7.5 oz. or 1576 g. Not the 4 lbs. shown in description. I needed the tool so wasn't ready to send back and wait for a replacement.

Boss31647: All around good hammer. Whatever you use it for it’s a well built dead blow

Glen B.: I can't tell if it's sand or shot inside, but this hammer performs really really well. You can feel the internal shift, but very very slightly. It's a good weight, seems to be put together well, and so far has done a great job installing deck pavers, which is admittedly a bit hard on plastic/rubber hammers (the job destroyed a hammer from Prin Aut, which is the reason for ordering this one). It would be nice if I still have this hammer in 40 years (well it will be great if I'm still around to use this hammer in 40 years) as I still have some hammers from my grandfather (they just don't make things to last 3 generations anymore).

Alpo: Comparing with my 15 buck rubber 4lbs dead blow. The face doesn’t gouge up as quickly, better transfer of impact energy towards the component being hit while providing excellent dead blow action. I find I need to use less energy to get more work done. I read a review where stated that the grip is Slightly slippery ... and yes I do think The grip is slightly slippery, so make sure you have a tight grip on it... Price point is pretty good for what you get. Definitely a good upgrade from the cheap rubber ones.

Amazon Customer: I have used this 9 pound hammer to install a flywheeel on a 150 ton Cincinnati break press, and on several other very large couplings onto shafts. It moved the flywheel 1/8" at a time with zero bounce. Also a few good swings seating a 400 pound peice of hardox 500 into a fixture with rough torch cut ends. I have to say I am very impressed with this hammer so far. Plastic is definitely tough and has no marks on either the components or the hammers face. Definitely high impact plastic vs the cheaper soft rubber dead blows. Also it does not bouce back. Its worth mentioning the couplings were heated for a 0.0015" interference fit. No damage to plastic from heated impact either. Not sure if this was heat resistant in its descriptions but all and all I absolutely recommend this to anyone in the trades. Great quality tool. If this hammer broke tomorrow it already paid for itself at only 100 bucks and I'd order another same day. I have used similar $400 hammers of similar weight and cannot see any difference in quality.
