I stumbled upon an unfamiliar hammer brand on social media, Impact Poly Hammers, which makes customized dead blow hammers.
With the company called Impact Poly Hammers, what do you think they make? I love simple brand names that don’t make me think.
Impact Poly Hammers makes a lot of different dead blow hammers, and they seem worthy of some attention too.
But for the sake of this post, let’s talk about their custom dead blow hammers.
There are 2 kinds, a 20 oz custom dead blow hammer, where you have 4 handle color choices and 4 head choices, and 3 limited edition custom dead blow hammers at higher pricing.
Each customized dead blow hammer has a handle with an exposed “Aero-Space Grade” aluminum frame. The limited edition dead blow hammers have a preset color palette, each with a special anodized handle color.
Does that make sense? Custom hammer means you pick the head and handle colors, and “limited” custom hammers have anodized handles with specific handle and head color combinations.
Here’s a list of features and construction details
- Chemically Bonded Industrial grade polyurethane casing – will not twist or peel
- Aero-Space Grade aluminum chassis
- Shot filled head
- Cold weather rated
- Non-marring
- Non-sparking
- Flat top head for standing upright
- Lanyard hole
- Textured square tapered handle grip
The hammers have a 4″ head width, 12″ length, and 20 ounce head weight.
They are made in Canada. I presume they ship to the USA.
I’ve never heard of this company before.
Price: $171 (USD) for the custom hammers, $209 for the limited versions
The PRICE!?
Maybe the price is too much for you, maybe you don’t use a dead blow hammer everyday and don’t see the value, or maybe a custom color combo won’t bring you any joy.
Well, I’ve got good news.
You can get the standard 20oz dead blow hammer for less. They have other sizes and styles too.
Price: $78
I probably won’t ever wear out my dead blow hammers (not this brand, I have others). The custom hammers caught my attention, and it’s good to know there’s a range of Canadian-made dead blow hammers.
The custom dead blow hammers are the type of tool that I probably won’t buy, but appreciate being able to.
