This should last me another 25 years!
I bought this as a replacement for one of two I bought 25 years ago - same model number but black plastic instead of orange, otherwise identical. I can still use the old one but it's starting to split after many years of abuse. This is my one for home - the one at work is still holding together. I'm a metal fabricator and use it often. The cheap import brand deadblow hammers some guys bring in to our workplace don't last six months, so 25 years and still going strong seems like a good investment and less expensive than a pile of cheapies!

Works Great, No Marking.
I just bought my second Stanley 42 oz. Dead Blow Hammer. The first was bought over 30 years ago. It was great for thirty years and then the plastic cover became sticky and started fracturing.I have owned and used a number of dead blow hammers before I settled on the Stanley. Replaceable face models are great, but you do have to replace the faces every once in a while. Some still mar the surface you are striking, so you need to hold a strike-block with the other hand and I have no third hand to hold the work.So I have 4 primary criteria for a great dead blow hammer:1. Comfortable handle.2. Non marring.3. No bounce at all.4. Very tough and sturdy.And, of course, it needs to be the correct weight for the job. For me, 42 oz. is a great weight, but if I am striking cutting tools like very sharp wood chisels I prefer a hammer with about half that weight. Stanley makes other weights.I am not able to determine what caused the plasticizers in the hammer to fail. This hammer is very popular in my home, having been "borrowed" by wife and children many times. My wife loves to tap paint and varnish cans closed using the hammer. My suspicion is that the paint thinner worked its way onto the plastic cover many times, and it was finally toast. Or it might just be that 30 years of heat, cold, humidity, UV, and chemicals takes a toll on plastic--it does on most forms of it. Plastic covered dashboards in cars don't generally last 30 years without cracking.

Quality and price
Stanley is the best, I have tried imitations and they don't compare or hold up as long.

Awesome
I don't know if this product is better than its competitors or not. But compared to using a rubber hammer, this is awesome. We use it for tamping pavingstones into place when constructing patios, paths, etc. It is light weight enough to handle easily with one hand, but has the punch equivalent of about 5 or more blows from the rubber hammer. Love it.

Did what I needed it to do. Appears well made. No problems after using it for several hours.

Stanley Dead Blow Hammer
The first one of these I had lasted about 30 years and took all kinds of abuse, so when it finally broke (the rubber face cracked), the only hammer I considered for purchase was another of the exact same hammer (except they are orange now, not black).
