One of the must-have tools of handymen is a hammer. If you are looking for the best hammer for your toolkit, we recommend getting an American-made hammer because it most probably has great quality and is well-constructed.
Here are some of the best hammers made in the USA.
1. Dead Blow Hammer by ABC Hammers
The dead blow hammer is different from other hammers because of its huge size. ABC Hammers designed it to be a versatile and heavy mallet.
It is sturdy and safe because the single polyurethane piece is removed through the use of heat that completes its construction. The hammer lasts 10 to 20 times longer compared to lead, rawhide, or rubber hammers. Therefore, you can store and use it for a long period.
