Wuko 1007178 Sheet Metal Soft Face/Dead Blow Hammer - Small

The WUKO 1007178 Small Soft Face/Dead Blow Hammer is a professional sheet metalworking hammer designed for precision striking, shaping, and forming metal components. Featuring a compact 35 mm (1-3/8") head diameter and replaceable nylon striking faces, this specialized hammer provides controlled impact while reducing rebound and helping protect finished sheet metal surfaces.

The dead-blow construction minimizes bounce-back after impact, allowing operators to maintain better control when forming folded edges, adjusting flashings, and working on detailed sheet metal components. Its hard nylon striking faces provide a durable contact surface that helps reduce unwanted marks when working with compatible painted and coated metals.

Built with a durable hickory wood handle and secure head-to-handle connection, the WUKO 1007178 offers reliable handling during repetitive forming operations. Its smaller striking diameter makes it particularly useful for localized adjustments, tight working areas, and detailed architectural sheet metal fabrication.
