This detailed product description presents the WS Wieländer+Schill premium quality, soft-faced, dead blow hammer, specifically developed for auto body repair and metalworking tasks. The tool is ideally suited for jobs requiring a precise yet powerful impact without leaving scratches or marks on the workpiece surface.
The WS Dead Blow Soft Face Hammer, item number 511022, is a robust yet precise hand tool for delicate work. The main feature of the tool is the filled hammer head, which significantly increases the impact energy, while the soft, replaceable polyethylene (PU) faces absorb recoil (dead blow effect), minimizing the risk of surface damage.
The hammer handle material steel tube, which provides excellent durability and ergonomics for long-term, intensive use. The heads are shatterproof and easily replaceable, ensuring the tool's long service life and flexibility for various tasks. The tool surface powder-coated has a coating for enhanced protection and corrosion resistance.
This hammer is the ideal choice for precision metalworking areas such as dent removal, sheet metal bending, or any application where surface integrity is critical.

The internal filling of the hammer head (likely metal granules or sand) is crucial to the tool's performance. This filling ensures that during impact, the kinetic energy is maximally concentrated onto the workpiece, multiplying the impact force without damaging or deforming the outer, soft casing. This feature allows for high-force yet gentle striking.
WS Wieländer+Schill tools emphasize quality. The materials used – steel tubes, shatterproof polyethylene heads, and powder-coated finish – guarantee that the hammer will withstand the demands of a professional workshop environment. The interchangeable heads make maintenance economical, as only the head needs replacement in case of wear, not the entire tool.
This Dead Blow hammer is ideal for the following surfaces:
Body Repair: Fine leveling of dents, shaping of sheet metal, where avoiding surface irregularities is the primary goal.
Assembly: Positioning of parts requiring precision fitting, where contact between metal and metal must be avoided.
General Metalworking: Any task where bounce-free, controlled energy transfer is essential.
The 50 mm head diameter provides an optimal balance between precision and effective surface coverage. The 1120 gram weight ensures sufficient mass for the necessary impulse transfer.
This WS product is part of the wider Wieländer+Schill product range, which falls under the Dent Removal Technology & Metalworking (Dent Removal Technology and Metalworking) category, highlighting the brand's commitment to professional bodywork specialist tools.
