Review: Works Great, No Marking. - I just bought my second Stanley 42 oz. Dead Blow Hammer. The first was bought over 30 years ago. It was great for thirty years and then the plastic cover became sticky and started fracturing. I have owned and used a number of dead blow hammers before I settled on the Stanley. Replaceable face models are great, but you do have to replace the faces every once in a while. Some still mar the surface you are striking, so you need to hold a strike-block with the other hand and I have no third hand to hold the work. So I have 4 primary criteria for a great dead blow hammer: 1. Comfortable handle. 2. Non marring. 3. No bounce at all. 4. Very tough and sturdy. And, of course, it needs to be the correct weight for the job. For me, 42 oz. is a great weight, but if I am striking cutting tools like very sharp wood chisels I prefer a hammer with about half that weight. Stanley makes other weights. I am not able to determine what caused the plasticizers in the hammer to fail. This hammer is very popular in my home, having been "borrowed" by wife and children many times. My wife loves to tap paint and varnish cans closed using the hammer. My suspicion is that the paint thinner worked its way onto the plastic cover many times, and it was finally toast. Or it might just be that 30 years of heat, cold, humidity, UV, and chemicals takes a toll on plastic--it does on most forms of it. Plastic covered dashboards in cars don't generally last 30 years without cracking. Review: BFH - When you need to knock the *#@* out of something, this is what you use. There are cheaper hammers out there for sure. But anyone who knows the difference in quality tools will appreciate the toughness and force this brand has over the others. ## Features - Country of manufacture: United States - Manufacturer: Stanley - Uni-Cast construction of non-ferrous materials eliminate sparking and won't absorb liquids - Soft faces prevent marring ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00002X1XM | | Best Sellers Rank | #97,027 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #67 in Claw Hammers | | Brand | STANLEY | | Brand Name | STANLEY | | Color | Factory | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 416 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00076174575330 | | Grip Type | Textured | | Handle Material | Other | | Head Material | Stainless Steel | | Head Style | Bugle | | Included Components | Unit^Instruction Guide | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 13.7"L x 4.7"W x 2.3"Th | | Item Type Name | ST HMMR 3LB SOFT | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Stanley | | Manufacturer Part Number | 57-533 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime | | Model Number | 57-533 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 13.7"L x 4.7"W x 2.3"Th | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 076174575330 094700711939 643749125193 636123639331 640024791562 787721815891 100028851285 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** STANLEY - **Color:** Factory - **Handle Material:** Other - **Head Material:** Stainless Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 13.7"L x 4.7"W x 2.3"Th ## Images ![42 Oz.

There are cheaper hammers out there for sure. But anyone who knows the difference in quality tools will appreciate the toughness and force this brand has over the others. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This should last me another 25 years! *by G***T on May 2, 2011* I bought this as a replacement for one of two I bought 25 years ago - same model number but black plastic instead of orange, otherwise identical. I can still use the old one but it's starting to split after many years of abuse. This is my one for home - the one at work is still holding together. I'm a metal fabricator and use it often. The cheap import brand deadblow hammers some guys bring in to our workplace don't last six months, so 25 years and still going strong seems like a good investment and less expensive than a pile of cheapies! ## Frequently Bought Together - Stanley 57-533 42-Ounce Compo-Cast Standard Head Soft Face Hammer - Newborn Slick-2 Straight Slick Set on Ring, 7 Piece, Silver - C.R.
