Stanley 57-531A Dead Blow Hammer 1.125 Lb Urethane Head

Product Description

The STANLEY 57-531A is a soft-face dead blow hammer designed to deliver controlled impact without rebound, marring, or damage to the work surface. The head is filled with loose shot or sand that absorbs energy on contact, eliminating bounce-back. The urethane head measures 3-3/4 inches in length with a 1-3/4 inch face diameter and weighs 18 ounces (1.125 pounds). Overall length is 11-3/8 inches. The composite handle is constructed from polyurethane and finished in orange for high visibility. This tool is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, millwrights, and general trade professionals who need precise, rebound-free strikes on equipment, fittings, and assemblies.

The STANLEY 57-531A is suited for residential and commercial service work where conventional steel hammers risk damaging soft metals, plastic components, or finished surfaces. Common applications include seating ductwork fittings, aligning pipe flanges, driving plastic anchors, adjusting sheet metal, and repositioning equipment during installation or service. The compact 11-3/8 inch overall length makes it practical in confined spaces such as mechanical rooms, attic installs, and crawlspace work.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the urethane head before each use for cracks, chips, or deformation that could affect strike control. Do not use this hammer for tasks requiring a metal-face striking tool, such as driving hardened pins or chisels, as urethane heads are not rated for those applications. Store away from prolonged UV exposure and extreme heat to extend head life.
