Overview
Craftsman's CMHT54166 pairs a polyurethane (PU) head with a rubber grip handle in a single 28 ounce unit built for mark-free strikes.
Polyurethane heads are common on dead-blow style hammers because they dampen rebound compared to steel, which helps avoid marring the surface being struck. The rubber handle adds grip control, and the 28 ounce total weight places this in the lighter, more precise end of the hammer range rather than a heavy demolition class.

- Rubber grip handle
- 28 ounce total weight
Who it's for
Works well for mechanics, installers, or DIYers doing panel work, assembly, or light tapping where a steel hammer would leave marks. Not the right tool for framing or demolition, where more mass and a steel head are needed.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Mar-resistant polyurethane head
- Rubber grip handle for control
- Light at 28 ounces total
- Too light for heavy demolition work
- Single piece with no interchangeable heads noted
Performance notes
The polyurethane head absorbs impact energy on contact, reducing bounce back compared to a rigid steel face, while the rubber-covered handle improves hold during repeated light strikes. At 28 ounces total, it is built for control over raw striking force.
