    High-Visibility Dead Blow Mallets

    A fluorescent orange color makes these mallets easy to see. The head is loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. All are suitable for driving chisels and striking work without damaging its surface. Choose a lighter weight mallet for tapping work into place and driving a chisel to make small cuts. Use heavier weight mallets when assembling joints, dislodging stuck parts, and making aggressive cuts with a chisel. Longer mallets allow for more powerful swings. A textured grip provides slip resistance.
    Polyurethane Rubber Face
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hammers. High-Visibility Dead Blow Mallets .
    Polyurethane rubber faces resist oils and solvents and won't crack under high impact. They're softer than metal faces, so they're good for striking plastic, wood, and sheet metal.
    Soft Face—Soft faces have a hardness similar to that of a tire tread.
    Medium Face—Medium faces have a hardness that's suitable for most general purpose applications.
    Face Hardness Rating—All have a face hardness rating for comparing their hardness with other plastic faces.

    Change the faces out when worn rather than replacing the entire tool. A fluorescent orange color makes these mallets easy to see. All have a head loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. Use them to drive chisels and strike work without damaging its surface. Often used on plastic, wood, and sheet metal, the polyurethane rubber faces resist oils and solvents and won't crack under high impact. The medium-hard face has a hardness similar to that of a plastic cutting board; the extra-hard face has a hardness similar to that of a hard hat.

    Change out the faces when they become worn. The head on these hammers is loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. Use them to demolish material, form metal, and drive punches, chisels, and masonry drills. For demolition work, choose a hammer with a face that's harder than your workpiece. Longer and heavier hammers deliver greater impact.

    Magnetic Nail Starter

    Drive nails with the flat, steel face and remove them with the claw on the other end of the head.
    For replacement handles, see Hickory Hammer Handles.
    Aluminum Handle—Aluminum handles are stronger than hickory handles but have less vibration resistance.
    Textured Grip—Textured grips provide slip resistance.
    Dead-Blow Hammer—Dead blow nail hammers have a head loaded with metal shot for a controlled impact and minimal rebound. The handle is lightweight to provide a fast swing while driving nails.
    Serrated Face—Serrated face prevents the head from slipping when striking.
    Straight Claw—Straight-claw hammers are also known as framing hammers. They're a good choice for ripping and prying wood in addition to nail removal, but they do not remove nails as efficiently as curved-claw hammers.
    Magnetic Nail Starter—Hammers with a magnetic nail starter hold nails in position at the top of the head, so a free hand is not needed to steady the nail before striking it.
