This reflex hammer is as good as it gets! The weight distribution is perfect, allowing for easy reflexes every time. If you’re coming from a dinky triangle, you will be amazed just how much better this tool performs. Sure it’s a bit pricier than the cheap triangles out there, but those wear out quickly and don’t even perform well enough for their cheap price. This hammer fits easily anywhere you were keeping your other tools, but outshines them by miles.Update: This is the second hammer I have bought from this listing. The first was in 2019, and the most recent 2024. The one from 2019 was made in the USA and was a solid piece of metal with screw-on rubber attachment. This new hammer is made in China and is two pieces attached together. The threads on the screw-on attachments are much looser than the old hammer, and they don’t fit as snuggly. The construction is obviously cheaper, though it does function just as well as my old one. I wish I didn’t lose the old one, but I’m still hopeful this one will be just as durable.

As a medical student, I wasn't sure if I was struggling to get reflexes because I was bad at it or if it was my hammer. One of our lessons was taught by a neurologist with one of these hammers so I thought I would give it a try. OH MY GOODNESS - it is a lifesaver!! I am consistently able to get reflexes now and highly recommend just buying this item rather than getting the flimsy, works half-the-time hammer for half the price. It has a wonderful weight and is clearly a quality product. Great as a gift for the medical people in your life.

I absolutely love this hammer. The weight, balance, and quality of the workmanship are all exactly what you would want in a Tromner hammer.Note: This would also make a great gift for a current or aspiring medical student!

Après avoir cassé mon Babinski, j'ai acheté celui-ci et je n'en suis pas déçu. Il est mono-bloc, bien équilibré, se nettoie facilement. Rien à redire, il ne cassera pas à moins que vous ne vous en serviez pour du bricolage.

The best reflex hammer out in the market. Yes, you might get a specialty one (heavier,longer), or a custom one, but this is hard to beat as an everyday hammer. Good weight, soft bumpers, easy to clean. Beware: it is heavy! Not great to carry around in your white coat.

I'm a medical student and needed a reflex hammer for my neurology elective. I bought one in the past which was around 20 dollars and it felt very flimsy and cheap, and it fell apart after a few months of being in my bag. I decided to purchase this one in silver. It feels like it is all metal and is very sturdy, not cheap whatsoever and I am able to elicit reflexes with it. I noticed most residents in neurology have the tromner style hammer and it looks similar to this one! (not sure what company theirs are from) Very happy with my purchase!

Most reflex hammers are too light and would have you swinging away to zero effect, especially on older patients who are just somewhat hypo-reflexive at baseline. This hammer is the exception! The silicone caps also cushion against pain from impact.Highly recommended for its precision, classic design, and overall quality.

As a GP trainee my Clinical supervisor felt this was a bit over kill but it is nice to not have to run around the wards for one (and not find it) and also great not to use my stethoscope.The actual hammer it self feels of a very high quality. One would think you couldn't get excited by a tendon hammer .. but you can... Reflex's have never been so much fun! It consistently provides all the reflexes and has a not too sharp plantar reflex tip as well as a pead sized rubber tip too.Been waiting for this all my (medical) life.

Had previously used a Queen's Square hammer, but got tired of poking myself in the leg while walking around with it. This is a terrific hammer and not too expensive. I got it for $29.04. Its very handsome and the metal handle has a nice feel to it. The handle end isn't sharp, but you can still get a Babinski's. Fits nicely in my labcoat pocket, not so large to make me worry about it falling out all the time. Highly recommended.

I was having difficulties getting appropriate reflex response with other lighter hammers. This one has a great weight, balance and feel. The first use produced much more consistent responses.The handle is hollow stainless steel with the head being nearly solid. According to the manufacture's website, this hammer has a lifetime warranty and is latex free. The tips unscrew to allow replacement of the tips.Another review stated the tip wasn't sharp enough for Babinski's reflex, but I have used it on a new born and on other infants with perfect success.Overall, this is a quality professional instrument that I really enjoy using. I am more consistent and results are achieved rapidly and easily. Highly recommended.
