hi gary, i have no wire wheel experience, but as a midwest USA farmer, we
use a dead blow hammer a lot. i think the snap-on one also has oil in it
in addition to lead shot. a 24 oz dead blow will easily out-pound a 32 oz
regular hammer, so i would guess go gently on the wheels. it doesn't
bounce (when hitting something solid), transmitting more energy, blah,
blah. usually quality tools are worth the difference in price if you will
want to continue using them. a case in point, we regularly abuse locking
pliers, and destroy all half-price imports, but have never yet completely
destroyed the more expensive Vise-Grip brand.
