Kennedy Soft Faced Hammer

Kennedy soft-faced hammers have composite material striking faces that DO NOT have any metal in them that would mark the surface of the work piece. They are a safer alternative for striking machined surfaces than conventional steel hammers that would damage the surface. The impact-resistant composite material striking face shapes itself to the component being struck, minimising rebound damage to the component and reducing noise pollution in the work place.

Nylon Faced Safe Blow Hammer

Kennedy inside the hollow die cast aluminium hammer head are thousands of steel pellets which impact a split second after the hammer face, reducing rebound whilst also adding to the force of the blow. Each hammer has two replaceable screw-in nylon hammer faces that can be easily replaced when they become worn, without the use of any other tools - minimising down time.

The striking faces are reinforced for extra strength and to prevent fracturing from off centre strikes. The nylon hammer faces have a precision moulded screw thread that screws securely into the single piece die cast aluminium hammer head, the handle is a high strength girder section that has a shock absorbing soft dual material grip, for improved grip and control.
