Facom has introduced a new range of ergonomically designed dead-blow hammers and drift pins.
These mallets help minimise damage to the struck surface and control striking force with minimal rebound.
The hammer’s head and the drift’s body are filled with steel shot which practically eliminates the rebound when striking a surface. The hammers include the 216 range which are one piece dead blow mallets and the 212A range which have interchangeable tips.
The 216 monobloc dead-blow hammers are built from steel entirely encapsulated in polyurethane. This safety feature makes it impossible for the head to break off and the steel shot to spill on the workshop floor. What’s more, polyurethane is highly resistant to chemicals which considerably increases the life of the mallet compared to those with traditional tips. The 216 hammers have a shore hardness of D45 +/-5 on striking faces.
The 212A dead-blow hammers, with interchangeable tips, also have a glass-fibre handle, steel body and ergonomic PVC grip. They come with a range of easily replaceable, special nylon tips with a shore hardness of D74 +/-5.
The nylon or polyurethane tips of the new hammers make it possible to hit hard metallic surfaces with no risk of chipping.
