Nupla Corporation manufactures a wide range of non sparking, non magnetic Power Drive® dead blow hammers with Nuplaglas® fiberglass handles.

The ultimate hammers for hazardous or volatile work environments, these tools are recommended by safety engineers and insurance companies for use in all such critical environments. They meet OSHA (Occupational Safety Health Administration, USA) requirements for use in locations where flammable vapors or combustible residues are present, and comply with all U.S. Government specifications for non-sparking hand tools. Typical uses would be in industries with a potential of high vapor emission such as nuclear, petrochemical, near volatile liquids or liquid transmission facilities, and in mines.

All dead blow safety hammer heads contain non-ferrous material and are manufactured using proprietary Smart Hammer® dead blow technology. The free-flowing non ferrous metal shot contained in the engineered polymer hammer heads concentrates striking power in the blow, increasing driving force by 40%. No rebound bounce also virtually eliminates vibration and sting which in turn decreases user fatigue and enhances efficiency. These hammers are assembled with Nuplaglas® Lifetime® fiberglass handles which, unlike wooden handled "safety hammers" , are resistant to industrial and hazardous chemicals and are easily cleaned of volatile residuals. Nupla safety hammers easily outlast wood handled hammers 10 to 1.

SPI Impax® hammers - used with interchangeable striking faces (tips) in varying hardnesses from super soft to extra hard - have the versatility of dead blow combined with non marring features. Available as sets in the 1 lb. version complete with six or eight selected 1.5 inch striking faces in durable molded cases.
