a dead blow hammer does what it's name says. when you strike the full force of the blow is imparted to the item being struck. on a steel head hammer [ball pein] there is a tendency for the hammer to bounce. the dead blow also acts as a vibration damper again imparting most of the energy to the item being struck.
keep in mind that the face is a rubber material and will cut and chip if used improperly. IMO you want the entire face of the hammer to contact the piece so the force will get distributed over the full face and not concentrated to just a small area. this has to do with a load bearing surface.
we use a dead blow to tap a part in a vise, levers on vises to get that little extra force. lids to 5 gal buckets.
