Question

a______is designed not to bounce back when it hits something.
o a. sledge hammer
o b. hard rubber mallet
o c. ball - peen (engineers) hammer
o d. dead blow hammer

Explanation:

A dead - blow hammer is filled with a dense material (like sand or lead shot) inside its head. When it hits an object, the material absorbs the shock, reducing the rebound. A sledgehammer is mainly for heavy - duty striking with a large rebound. A hard rubber mallet is for non - marring blows but still has some bounce. A ball - peen hammer is used for shaping metal and has a significant rebound.

Answer:

d. Dead blow hammer
