What should I be using a dead blow hammer for?

Hittin’ stuff. I have one and it’s what I grab when I want to bang a paint can closed or knock together some Ikea junk. I use it for “adjusting” woodworking stuff during a glue-up. Basically anything I might use a rubber mallet for, the neon orange dead blow “maraca of death” comes out.

Seriously, they’re handy and one of those things you find uses for.

Hittin’ stuff you don’t want to leave marks on. It’s the “soap in a sock” of home improvement. You can whoop something into place with a regular claw hammer, but all the neighbors will see the bruises.

Good answer. I’ll pick one up next time I’m there.
