Wiha 80230 Dead Blow Hammer Polyurethane Head

Product Description

The WIHA 80230 is a dead blow hammer designed for controlled impact work where rebound and surface damage must be minimized. The head is constructed from polyurethane, a material that absorbs shock and reduces the bounce-back common with metal-faced hammers. The steel handle is fitted with an anti-vibration ergonomic cushion grip for extended use comfort. At 11-7/16 inches overall length with a 1-3/16 inch face diameter, this hammer is suited for assembly, disassembly, and alignment tasks across mechanical and electrical trades. The face is user-replaceable, reducing long-term cost of ownership.

This dead blow hammer fits a wide range of trade applications including HVAC equipment alignment, electrical panel assembly, conduit forming, and general mechanical work where a standard steel hammer would risk damaging finished surfaces or sensitive components. The polyurethane face delivers consistent impact force without leaving marks on soft metals, plastic housings, or coated surfaces. It is equally useful in residential and light commercial service environments where controlled driving force is needed without surface marring.

Key Features

• Polyurethane head minimizes rebound and reduces surface damage on contact
• Replaceable face design allows quick press-fit swap without replacing the full hammer
• Steel handle provides rigid support and durability under repeated impact loads
• Anti-vibration ergonomic cushion grip reduces hand fatigue during extended use
• 1-3/16 inch face diameter suited for precise striking in tight or confined areas
• 11-7/16 inch overall length balances reach and control for one-handed operation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dead blow hammer for use across mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade applications where a non-marring striking tool is required.

Installation Notes

Dead blow hammers are a hand tool requiring no electrical lockout procedure before use. When replacing the face insert, ensure the press-fit is fully seated before returning the tool to service. Inspect the polyurethane head for cracks or splitting before each use, as a damaged face reduces impact control. Follow applicable jobsite safety guidelines for personal protective equipment when performing impact work.
