Abstract

An improved nonrecoil or deadblow hammer and related production method are provided, wherein the hammer has a tool head of hardened steel or the like formed with a hollow socket containing a flowable filler material adapted to absorb or dissipate shock forces and thereby substantially reduce or eliminate rebound when an impact blow is struck by the hammer. The tool head comprises a central body having, for example, a conventional impact member and a nail removal claw formed at opposite ends thereof. The hollow socket is formed in the central body and is upwardly open for seated reception of a hollow canister containing the flowable filler material, such as small steel pellets. In the preferred form, the canister is preassembled with a tool handle which extends downwardly from the tool head through a handle port formed at the base or lower end of the socket.
