Hammer recoilless Ø 50mm (511022)

Wielander & Schill Recoilless Dead Blow Hammer 50mm (511022)

The Wielander & Schill 50mm Recoilless Hammer is a heavy-duty dead blow hammer built for daily bodyshop and workshop use. As a result of its filled hammerhead, it absorbs and redirects impact energy on contact. This means you get a stronger strike with zero rebound, so every hit is safer and more accurate.

In contrast to the smaller 40mm model (511029), this 50mm version features a tough powder-coated steel tube handle and a larger striking face. In addition, at 1.12 kg, it provides much more force for demanding panel work, alignment, and assembly tasks.

Key Features

• 50mm dead blow head — delivers stronger impact with zero rebound
• Replaceable polyurethane heads — shatterproof and easy to swap when worn
• Filled hammerhead — internal filling boosts striking force on contact
• Powder-coated steel tube handle — tough, rust-resistant, and built for daily use
• 1.12 kg weight — heavy enough for tough tasks, yet balanced for control
• Compact 380mm length — easy to use in tight spaces around vehicle panels

Replaceable Heads — Long-Term Value

The polyurethane striking heads on this hammer are fully replaceable. As a result, when a head wears down after heavy use, you simply swap it for a new one rather than buying a whole new tool. This keeps your costs low and, at the same time, ensures steady performance over the life of the hammer.

Typical Uses

• Heavy-duty panel straightening and alignment in bodyshop repair
• Striking dolly blocks during dent removal without surface damage
• Assembly work where rebound could cause injury or poor alignment
• Fitting trim, mouldings, and parts without marking finished surfaces
• General workshop tasks that need controlled, non-rebounding force

Technical Specs

How Does a Dead Blow Hammer Work?

A dead blow hammer has loose material, such as steel shot or sand, sealed inside its hollow head. When the hammer hits a surface, the filling shifts forward on impact. Because of this, extra energy transfers into the target. At the same time, the filling stops the head from bouncing back. As a result, you get a harder, more controlled hit with no rebound — which is essential for safe, accurate bodyshop work.

50mm vs 40mm — Which Size Do You Need?

This 50mm model (511022) is the heavier option at 1.12 kg. It has a steel tube handle and replaceable polyurethane heads. Therefore, it is best suited for panel straightening, heavy alignment work, and tasks that need greater force. On the other hand, the 40mm model (511029) weighs just 730g and has a hickory handle. As a result, it is better for lighter panel fitting and trim work. For this reason, many bodyshops keep both sizes on hand.
