This is good, still used to put PVC and bamboo in floors to drift . I wish it was a hard rubber - the product description was unclear. I took the model number from a rubber mallet bought about 15 years ago so I assumed it would be similar but it's soft rubber filled with sand or something rather than hard rubber around the hammer-like metal top as intended . It probably isn't good for my use, but if you use it on smoother, flat surfaces it's probably fine.

I've had the hammer for almost a month now and it's not as strong as I thought it would be. I use the hydraulic loader daily and the plastic cover on the head is already badly worn and cracked. I'll count myself lucky if I get another month out of this hammer. I would suggest looking at the Estwing polyurethane jackhammers, which are a one-piece construction of hot cast polyurethane. They definitely last longer than CCD45.
