Review on Neiko 02847A Unibody Checkered πŸ’― Resistant: Sleek, Durable, and Reliable Performance by David Fields

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No kickback and firm grip

I'm currently in CNC school and we use snap-on rubber mallets there every day to put metal in a vise over parallels and hit them. Pull out the screw at the top of the head when changing bits on hand mills. I got a job at a CNC shop nearby and needed my own tools. I have Neiko impact socket sets and a torque wrench that have served me well, so I decided to try another product from them rather than going with the expensive brand I'm used to. I've used this hammer almost every day and it's been great. I didn't realize that the snap-on hammer I was used to was just a rubber mallet and not a precise punch. Twice as heavy and with no rebound, this Neiko hammer makes me feel spoiled using it at work compared to the snap-on at school. This Neiko mallet is 6 times cheaper and I wouldn't even want to use a snap-on mallet when comparing the two. The quality is excellent and although most of the things I use it for are small cylindrical pieces with walls I was expecting small ring shaped marks to appear on the face of this hammer but it holds up surprisingly well and I'm very glad that I chose this hammer.
