Laser deadblow ball pein hammer

[Lee Tattersall]

Has anyone got a laser deadblow if so what are your thoughts on them? I got one but not impressed with it don't know if it's faulty too full.
I've ordered one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hultafors-C600L-T-Block-Deadblow-Hammer/dp hopefully that's better.
So is there any decent UK deadblow ball pein hammers around or should I stick with wooden handle ones?

I just use wooden handled ones and I've had no problems. They can be bought cheaply (like the rusted Brades one in the pic), cleaned and painted, new handle and good to go. I've got two Brades here, a Bestmore, a S&J and the cross pein is Picard of Germany.

I've got plenty of normal hammers but I've got a thing for gimmicky tools and the mallets work well would like a snap on hammer but to expensive.

As a mallet the laser ones are ok for what they cost, but the handles tend to snap off eventually. They aren't filled with bearings though they're filled with punch offcuts so they probably don't work as well as a decent make.

Snap on is about the best you will get. Around £70-80

Sykes Picavant for a standard ball pein with hickory handle. I’ve got one passed down from my dad it’s gotta be 30 years old on the original handle

I see ball pein hammers at autojumbles all good quality for under a fiver . I gave a few away as I'm sick of seeing them

I have one of these Snap On ones, I only got it because it came free on a pry bar deal. It's a nice bit of kit, almost too nice

I've loads of hammers like footprint,old stanley machine mart crap but i really wanted a snap on dead blow and being a hobbyist it's hard to get except for ebay where anything with snap on on it goes for crazy prices.
So got one these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Laser-5708-Ball-Pein-Hammer/dp/B00FZJKUSS didn't pay that price it was on sale half price.
but not impressed with it, it seems too full off shot. I know laser makes some crap tools but their cheap mallets are ok wish I just got the snap on now.
I like to get german facom but i can't find one similar apart from us ones.

As for dead blow hammers I’m suppressed no one has mentioned these:

I have a few scattered about the workshop. Very handy with easily replaceable faces, that come in various grades depending on what your doing.
