Making a Dead Blow Mallet - Inspired by 'PB Swiss Tools'

In this video I'm going to make a dead blow mallet from scratch, inspired by the model of ‪@PBSwissTools‬ .
Dead blow mallets with nylon heads are always used when you don't want to damage the parts when hammering. They're always very nice to work with because they have no rebound. To achieve that they mostly have lead balls inside of the hammer head. This version though has steel discs inside, which eliminates even more rebound than the lead balls. A dead blow mallet is definitely a must have tool in a shop. I reall like the ones from PB Swiss Tools and I'm not just saying that because it's a sponsored video. Top notch swiss quality. I really like the feature that you can replace the nylon heads and the handle if they break, both are available as original spare parts.
If you're in need of a dead blow mallet and you can't make your own, than I highly recommend the ones from PB Swiss Tools. They come in different types and sizes. Check the links below.

This video is very exciting and interesting for us to see how many thought processes and production steps are involved in a rather “simple” tool. The entertaining scene changes let you feel how much heart and soul but also hard work went into this development. We thank you very much for this inspiring collaboration - we work with the best!

I am a electromechanic, just got out of college with honours! We had to do a years internship at 2 companies. Went for 2places that do industrial maintenance, repairs and revision. The part I really really enjoyed was the complete revisions, I worked with some oldtimers with 30-40y on the job. Expert area of the second company was electric motors (every type) up to the point of completely rewinding them by hand id needed. Gearboxes, pumps, compressors. It all came to us for repairs. They taught me to do this too, to finish every part like it should be. We got motors from Arcelor Mittal’s Ghent factory every week. These live a hard life, especially those close to the furnaces. They came in caked in a mix of metal dust and grease, insulation burnt up, bearings fuckered and the cast connection boxes shattered. So we went to work. Cleaning, degreasing, polishing axles and other parts, measuring all diameters, tapping the holes to clean out the gunk, sandblasting smaller parts of non-critical dimensions. Then it all got inspected, new seals and bearings ordered. Rotors get rewound, enameled and balanced. Then it is all put together according to the rules of the art, by guys who seriously know their job. They taught me real well, it is hard work and it takes patience and a lot of care. We had small ones with aluminum bodies that could be tossed like a baseball. We also had ones that weighed 15tons and came in on large trailers. We do it all. Broken cast iron parts? No problem, if we can’t salvage a part from the corpse of the same type, they are “stitched” back together. I love seeing something come in completely messed up to then see it go out again, like its brand new. Done properly “the customer doesn’t open em up. But we do everything as if they do.” We had motors made in Belgium from the 60’s and 70’s that were still going, we swap the bearings, seals and heck everything (megger and micro-ohmtest)

When I watch other restoration videos.. often times they rush with the hand moments, body language, the camera shots, and just the overall feel seems to be moving at an unsteady pace. It seems to reflect their work on the restoration. But when I watch mymechanics, he has that finesse. His hand movements are steady and gives time for our eyes to slowly view the object being deconstructed, repaired, and restored. The camera shots are laid out strategically with focus on the object. Even the pace of the lathe work is phenomenal. This channel is what I think ASMR is for a DIYer. Love this channel!

This brought me back to my first "complex" project as an apprentice, a mallet with a nylon and aluminium head. I still have it safely tucked away because I was too fond of it to use it. Your deadblow hammer is simply beautiful work, and it says so much about the automation of products. Your deadblow would be extremely expensive in man hours and materials, but for the price of a nice dinner a company can build them en mass for a perfectly serviceable quality tool. I like yours better, but the other is still decent

Excellent workmanship and a pleasure to watch, definitely one for my favourite list.

Now I need to find a US dealer. These guys have some nice tools on their website. Well done!

Should be no problem as they're available all around the world ;-)

Nylon is pretty good, but a while ago we did some tests between nylon and something called pc-1000. We were making some shock absorbers for sand rail desert cars. The shocks absorbers were used for when you jump your car and land, the A-frame suspension would hit these shock absorbers if they traveled too far up when you landed. Anyway, we were using nylon for the contact point. The nylon would eventually shatter and break due to the impact. We got hold of another type of plastic called pc-1000. It is a little translucent with a purple hue to it. The pc-1000 is a little softer than nylon and it will deform a little, but it handles the impact way better.

@ArniVidar 3 года назад

PC 1000 may handle impacts better, on account of it being softer, but that also means that it transmits less of the force onto whatever is being hit. Which is no bueno for a hammer. These heads are "cheap" replacement parts for a reason :)

@@ArniVidar The difference between the two is negligible.
