Title: Fuller Dead Blow Hammer
Review: The local Lowes didn't sell the Fuller dead blow hammer, so bought it online. Used it today to build sliding kitchen storage units. The 32 oz. model is comfortable, not too heavy, has an easy to grip diamond patterned handle, and is very effective at nudging and adjusting wood pieces without fear of marring them, as a regular hammer would (provided that you strike the work piece "square", and not at an angle or on an edge or corner). Unlike a rubber mallet, the material in the head (sand?) provides more inertial force and prevents rebound and recoil. The hammer is totally enclosed in a very durable, thick, impervious plastic which will never rust or crack, and its bright orange color makes the hammer easy to locate and hard to misplace. The Fuller hammer replaces the clumsy old metal hammer-plus-block-of-wood method, which required two hands. Any serious wood worker should have one of these.
