Polyurethane is one of the most ideal materials for manufacturing dead-blow hammers and soft mallets. A highly versatile polymer, polyurethane is tough, cost-effective, and reliable for a wide range of consumer and industrial tools. It also naturally offers numerous performance advantages for this unique application – most notably, customizable hardness combined with excellent shock-absorption.

Want to be further convinced? Read on to find out more on the advantages of polyurethane hammers compared to other common materials. And keep in mind, the finest dead blow poly-hammers on the market are manufactured in the U.S.A. here at Polyurethane Products. Our full range of polyurethane dead-blow hammers includes six sizes from 0.75 lbs to 7 lbs, with screw-on replaceable faces available in six different durometers/hardness levels.

The Three Major Material Benefits of Polyurethane Hammers:

• Excellent Resistance to Chemicals and Corrosion – Of course, polyurethane doesn’t rust or corrode. The material is also naturally resistant to many common chemicals, solvents, and industrial fluids. Compare that to traditional wood and rubber mallets: over time, the wooden handle and rubber head are both prone to cracking, chemical breakdown and dry rot, while any exposed metal hardware is likely to rust.
• Outstanding Shock Absorption – Polyurethane makes the perfect dead-blow hammer because the material naturally exhibits almost everything you want from a dead-blow strike: it absorbs shocks and vibrations, evenly dissipates impact energy, and minimizes rebound force – the kickback that you feel in your hand whenever you strike a hard surface.
• Highly Durable yet Non-Marring – Polyurethane is a non-marring material, so it tends not to ding or scratch surfaces. At the same time, the material is highly durable and resilient, so you get a much longer tool life than you do from most other non-metallic hammers.

America’s Leading Polyurethane Hammer Manufacturer – Highly Customizable Configurations

Polyurethane Products is one of the industry’s leading polyurethane hammer manufacturers. We make superior industrial-grade tools that are engineered and made in the U.S.A – right here in Addison, Illinois. We offer a wide range of custom hammer options in sizes ranging from 0.75 lbs to 7 lbs in weight.

Custom Poly-Hammers with Replaceable Faces

Unlike most standard, generic, or budget poly-hammers on the market, which are molded with a single-piece head construction, our premium hammer heads utilize urethane replaceable faces. This simple feature substantially increased the tool’s service life as well as the sustainability of the end product.

Going further in the name of durability, our hammer handles are reinforced with a steel skeleton construction. No flimsiness or cracking after a few hard blows – our poly-hammers offer the extreme strength of a steel mallet combined with the versatility of modern polyurethane materials.

Finally, beneath the screw-in faces, our molded hammer heads are shot-filled and carefully tuned to provide the smoothest dead-blow action possible.
