Soft Face Hammer 46oz Rubber Dead Blow for Rims & Tyres

A 46oz soft face hammer made for controlled impact work where you want striking force without the harsh rebound of a standard hammer. The rubber dead blow mallet uses steel shot inside the head to help reduce bounce, making it useful when working on rims, tyres and other stubborn components.

Used for loosening wheels, shifting tight-fitting parts and helping free seized or awkward items during garage work, workshop jobs and vehicle maintenance. It suits mechanics, tyre fitters and DIY users who need a softer striking action when working around surfaces that can mark more easily than heavy steel parts. For repair and servicing tasks where control matters as much as force, this type of hammer gives a steadier hit than a conventional hammer.

The 46oz weight gives it enough mass for firm blows on stuck parts, while the soft rubber face is better suited to jobs where a metal striking surface would be too aggressive. The dead blow design with steel shot helps absorb impact energy and keeps rebound down, which can make repeated striking easier to control. That is especially useful when trying to move rims, tyres or components gradually without the hammer kicking back after each hit. For regular workshop use, it is a practical option when a softer but still substantial striking tool is needed.
