The soft faces of Stanley's 21-oz. Compo-Cast hammer are less likely to mar surfaces and will not cause any sparking. The head is filled with steel shot for a no-bounce dead blow. It's useful for assembling equipment in situations where a conventional steel hammer might cause damage. The Compo-Cast has no exposed metal. The steel reinforced handle and is 12-7/8" long overall. In December 2004, the 57-532 was available for $26.
