    Mallets

    Drive chisels with control and strike workpieces without damaging their surface.
    When choosing a mallet, consider the face material, overall length, and head weight. To avoid marring, the face material should be softer than your workpiece. Use shorter, lighter mallets for tapping parts into place or making small cuts with a chisel. Use longer, heavier mallets for assembling joints, dislodging stuck parts, and making aggressive chisel cuts.
    Rawhide Leather Face
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hammers. Mallets , Rawhide Leather Face.
    Rawhide leather faces won't distort the surface of soft sheet metal, such as brass, aluminum, and copper. They’re more durable than polyethylene faces. Those with a lead head deliver a heavier, more balanced blow than those with rawhide heads.

    Palm Grip Hammers

    No handle means precise control for tapping work into position. These hammers can be used in tight spaces where standard hammers don't have room to swing. The replaceable faces have a hardness similar to that of a hard hat. A hex-shaped body keeps the hammer from rolling when you set it down.
