Replaceable-Face Mallets
Replace faces when they become worn rather than replacing the entire tool. These mallets are suitable for driving chisels and striking work without damaging its surface. Choose a mallet with a face that's softer than your workpiece to avoid marring it when tapping or striking. Lighter weight mallets are good 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.
Copper faces are for use on brass, copper, aluminum, and steel.Hickory and ash handles resist vibration.
Create-Your-Own Mallets
Pair a body with two faces of different materials to create the perfect striking tool. Use mallets to drive chisels and strike work without damaging its surface. To avoid marring, use a face material that's softer than your workpiece. Lighter weight mallets are good 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.
Bodies for screw-in face mount mallets have threads at each end of the head for attaching faces. They include a head and handle. The handle has a textured grip for slip resistance.
Bodies for clamping-head face mount mallets have a head with two pieces that clamp together to grip faces tightly. They include a head, nut, and replaceable handle. To assemble, loosen the nut under the head, insert the faces, and tighten the nut.
