Deadblow Fretting Hammer

It works as advetised however it's not made of magic... it's still a hammer so there is a small amount of blowback but significantly better than the traditional fret hammer. I was surprised that the non brass side had no plastic tip but when I used the the non brass side on this hammer it worked just fine and left no fret dents in the plastic. A great buy!

Works as expected

Good size and feel. Works as expected.

The older Stew-Mac hammer was a nice tool. This one is far superior! I tend to favor hammering frets, over other methods, and this new hammer works very well. I just did a couple of new banjo necks and am very pleased with the results and ease of use. Wear your ear plugs - always a good idea.

Easy to use and wore ear plugs to ease the sound of my hammering across the frets to seat everything. Didn't damage fret wire or mark it, I like!

Well constructed and very effective for fretting.

Well made, feels right as far as the balance is concerned, works a treat with no discernible damage to the fret tops. A recommended buy.

This tool, which after using engineering deadblow hammers, surprises you with its small size but is very effective. The price is not too bad and the feel is nice. Just let the weight of the hammer do the work instead of swinging with force!

Nice hammer. I tried it out on a banjo fret job and it works great! I would recommend this to anyone

This is an excellent hammer in the right hands. Minimum force is needed to seat new or reseat lifting frets. A word of caution... The brass head can easily damage frets and put dents in the fingerboard unless great care is taken. A few light taps is safer than a forceful hit.
