In a YouTube video breaking down Impact Poly Hammers' products, destruction testing and an inside look at the hammers reveal what sets Impact hammers apart.
In a first look analysis by Shop Tool Reviews, a few key features of the Impact dead blow hammer are highlighted.
Firstly, the model weight of each Impact hammer is decided by the head weight of the hammer. This translates to more bang for your buck since other companies base their hammer's model weight on the weight of the entire hammer. As shown in the review, the total weight of the 20oz Impact model was about equal to the weight of the 28oz competitor model.
Secondly, after performance testing the Impact dead blow against its competitor, the face of the Impact stays better intact. Although the hit testing is not brought to a point of failure for either hammer, there is still noticeable differences in the effects on each model. After a limited number of hits, the Impact stays intact while the polyurethane of the competitor hammer begins to come apart. The video references Dueling Deadblows, the video series that Impact Poly Hammers produces that showcases what happens when an Impact hammer and its competitor go head to head after thousands of hits.
Lastly, after cutting the head of the hammer open and stripping the polyurethane away, a few notable differences are found. The polyurethane is much harder to pull away from the frame of the Impact hammer. This is because there is a special process that bonds the polyurethane to its steel frame. This keeps the face of the hammer intact down the road, and avoids the twisting of handles that can be seen when it is not bonded. Additionally, Shop Tool Reviews notes the thicker gauge of metal in the steel frame of the Impact Poly Hammer.
These features that are immediately noticeable showcase why Impact Poly Hammers outperforms its competitors, but it doesn't stop there. Additional features of the hammers can be found at impactpolyhammers.com/pages/about-us.
