What happens here

Joe from Bon Tools explains the purpose of a dead blow hammer. Unlike a regular hammer that ricochets, a dead blow hammer contains lead shot inside its head, which shifts upon impact to create a 'dead' or non-rebounding strike. This design is ideal for settling pavers and blocks without causing damage or deflection, making it the right tool for precise hardscaping work.

Goal: Understand the function and benefits of a dead blow hammer for hardscaping.

Tools and materials

believe i have one of those but we're talking about a solid a solid block pinned together so this doesn't rely on adhesive right so you would sure i drop it all the way in there but it's in there we believe yeah there's a shoulder and then on the bottom side there's a groove okay that that shoulder goes into so with the three different pinning configurations you can go vertical if you put the pin here set back and set it's two faced the block has space on both sides is it is it 360 face or just two sides just two sides just two hands okay actually three one two three one two and you don't see the third side so it's flip them back and forth to align a straight wall and if you're doing a retaining wall it doesn't matter what the back looks like okay it's a trapezoidal shape that allows you to do that and that is the keystone it's going to be stone gate country manor country country manor system and you have a design manual for these so if guys are looking at doing this they can grab a is it now does your design manuals have anything with engineering because a lot of some some of the other companies do have engineering designs that go with them that help you
