Dead blow hammer YATO YT-4626 – polyamide head, wooden handle 36.5 cm, 540 g

YATO YT-4626 is a dead blow hammer with a polyamide head and a wooden handle designed to reduce rebound and deliver controlled impacts. With a total weight of 540 g and a 36.5 cm handle, this tool is intended for tasks that require precise, non-marring strikes. The polyamide head construction limits surface damage and the dead blow design minimizes recoil, allowing for efficient transfer of energy to the struck object.

Advantages

The polyamide head provides a balance between toughness and surface protection, reducing the risk of marring compared with metallic striking faces. The dead blow characteristic dampens rebound, improving accuracy and reducing operator fatigue. A 36.5 cm wooden handle offers comfortable grip and sufficient reach for typical assembly and maintenance applications. The hammer’s weight distribution is optimized to deliver controlled force while maintaining maneuverability.

Suitable for

• Assembly and fitting of components where controlled strikes are required
• Automotive work such as body and trim adjustments without damaging surfaces
• Maintenance and repair tasks where non-marring impacts are important
• Installing or seating bearings, bushings and press-fit parts

Key specifications

• Head material: polyamide
• Total weight: 540 g
• Head weight: 490 g
• Handle material: wood
• Handle length: 36.5 cm
• Tool type: dead blow hammer (reduced rebound)

How to use

Hold the wooden handle near its end for maximum leverage and swing with controlled motion toward the target. Position the striking face flat against the workpiece and apply steady, measured blows to seat parts or adjust components. The dead blow design absorbs rebound—ensure firm hand support to maintain accuracy. Inspect the striking face and handle before use and replace the tool if significant wear or damage is observed.

Usage recommendations

Use the hammer on clean contact surfaces to avoid embedding debris into the polyamide face. For delicate finishes, verify compatibility of polyamide with the workpiece surface and consider using a protective pad if necessary. Store in a dry place to preserve the wooden handle and periodically check for head securement.
