NANDEYIBI Tendon Hammer, Black, 0.05kg, Nylon Handle

After 2 months of using this tendon hammer I can give my honest review. The price is quite cheap but despite that it is a very good quality hammer! It cames in 2 pieces easly to assemble, the body it's made of thick plastic, very robust but also flexible, allowing a good swing to hit the tendon properly. Also it got a sharpish extremity that I use for "sharp and dull" test or sensory discrimination, very handy. The head has a centre made of metal that give a good weight for the swinging and the borders are made of rubber, to sensible reduce the hit on the patient skin. Very good purchese!

useful for exams

Very good quality for money, works as it should. Sturdy and durable I still use it. Easy use, thickness feels just write. Only thing I would say is it is a bit long. I like to carry it on me but because it was a tight fit it punched a hole in my bag. I am thinking of cutting a bit off. This is the only reason I gave a star short.

I'm actually very pleased with this tendon hammer and a few colleagues said it's very good. It has been mentioned that the plastic is rather bendy-but this is exactly what you want in a good tendon hammer to get the necessary swing! The rubber is firm but also soft, so won't hurt the patient or your fingers. Metal part is cool to use for sensation testing. The pointy bit wasn't exactly smooth, so I sandpapered it a bit, but perfect now.

Good tendon hammer which is essential for practising knee, ankle and suppinator reflexes amongst others. The reflexes are an essential part of a neurology examination which is often tested in osces. The reflexes are the most common area where students lose marks and I know it is area in which I had some difficulty. This hammer helped me master all reflexes. They have the exact same hammers in my local hospital ward.

Overall it is good enough. It does what it needs to do, and it does it fairly well. The good: the weight of the hammer is nice, probably about as heavy as other branded. It definitely works an pretty well. Appears to be more successful that my friend' cheap Taylor hammer. The flex is not too bad. The bad: the joint of hammer to the rod. Because the rod screw is just plastic I'm pretty confident that it will wobble with time and need replacing. The rod is slightly askew, however it doesn't really affect the performance. Though, I do notice that there is more flex as the curve veers towards the patient when eliciting the reflexes than when the curve veers away from the patient. It doesn't make too much difference however but more consistency would be more ideal.

I’m a UK neurologist and have gone through a lot of tendon hammers. I am on a mission to find decent ones and this is not one of them. It’s really thin, the head is small and I’m sure it won’t last a week of NHS work. It’s quite expensive given the dreadful quality. Buy this if you don’t care whether you do a good exam or not. I bought it so you don’t have to.

I purchased this as a Medical Student in preparation for Neurology OSCE exam stations. This seems sturdy enough and has been a very helpful tool in my revision. If you are considering purchasing one for exam practice, I would really recommend as it definitely helps technique.

Ottimo materiale e rifiniture. Né troppo grande, né troppo piccolo. Ci sta un blocco appunti, penne, occhiali, smartphone e anche un mazzo di chiavi...oltre alle monete che il corrispondente portafoglio non contiene...

Looks more like a toy than reflex hammer. Very disappointing
