MDF InstrumentsTromner Neurological Reflex Hammer with Pointed tip Handle for cutaneous and Superficial responses - Free-Parts-for-Life & Lifetime Warranty - Black (MDF555-11)

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!

Its a hammer and does its job well, I researched these for quite some time to find the one I wanted. Normally I use the longer version which allows you to get some velocity behind it but I got sick of tearing button holes when it gets caught on the door. I absolutely despise the garden variety hammers, they do there job but they feel cheap, so I went ahead and spent the extra money to buy a well crafted hammer and I am happy I did.The head of the hammer is well weighted and has enough mass to generate a good amount of force with little effort. All in all the hammer works perfectly with the added bonus that the cost forces me to hunt it down if it goes missing,My only complaint is with the built-in brush, either I haven't found it's secret location or the brush is actually white lithium grease and I havent developed the art that is cutaneous response. Since I didnt buy it for the brush I am not going to let it affect my review.Overall I love it and would buy it again

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.

This is one of the finest reflex hammers I have ever used. I've had it for over 8 years with daily use and it has stood the test of time. The hammer balances well in my hand, carries excellent momentum and looks very nice. If you will be doing a job where you elicit reflexes, this is the hammer for you.

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.

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.

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.
