Apex 68-516G Dead Blow Ball Pein Hammer

Product Description

The APEX 68-516G is a polyurethane dead blow ball pein hammer built for trade professionals who need sustained impact with minimal rebound. The head contains a sealed canister of steel shot that absorbs shock, maximizes force transfer, and eliminates the bounce-back common with conventional steel hammers. The steel-reinforced handle features a knurled texture for a secure grip, and the flanged back end prevents the handle from slipping through the hand during hard strikes. The ball pein face and pein are steel, allowing conventional use for driving punches and chisels as well as shaping and straightening unhardened metals.

This hammer is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general fabrication work where controlled striking force is required without surface damage risk. It is appropriate for use in shops, on assembly lines, and in field service environments where rebound and noise must be minimized. The dead blow design makes it a practical choice for HVAC technicians, machinists, pipefitters, and millwrights working in tight quarters or on sensitive assemblies. Its 12.75-inch overall length provides adequate swing clearance in most standard work scenarios.

Key Features

• Steel shot canister in head creates dead blow effect, reducing rebound and sustaining impact force
• Steel ball pein face and pein for driving punches, chisels, and shaping unhardened metals
• Steel-reinforced handle with knurled texture for improved grip control
• Flanged handle end prevents grip slippage during high-force strikes
• Polyurethane construction is non-marring and non-sparking, reducing surface damage risk
• Overall length of 12.75 inches suits standard one-hand use in most work environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dead blow ball pein hammer suitable for automotive, mechanical, and fabrication applications requiring controlled impact with reduced rebound.

Installation Notes

Inspect the head and handle for cracks or damage before each use and replace if integrity is compromised. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving punches or chisels. Do not use the polyurethane body surfaces to strike hardened steel or sharp-edged tooling. Store away from prolonged direct heat or UV exposure to preserve polyurethane integrity.
