Mallets
Drive chisels and strike work without damaging its surface. To avoid marring, choose a mallet with faces that are 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.
Rubber and plastic faces are softer than metal faces, so they're good for striking plastic, wood, and sheet metal. All have a face hardness rating for comparing their hardness with other rubber and plastic faces. Soft faces have a hardness similar to that of a tire tread. White rubber faces are nonmarking.
Aluminum and copper faces are harder than lead and softer than brass. Use them on brass, copper, aluminum, and steel.
Hickory handles resist vibration. Fiberglass handles combine the strength of steel with the vibration resistance of wood.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.

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.

Rubber and plastic faces are softer than metal faces, so they're good for sheet metal work. All have a face hardness rating for comparing their hardness with other rubber and plastic faces.
Extra-soft faces have a hardness similar to that of a pencil eraser.
Soft faces have a hardness similar to that of a tire tread.
Medium-soft faces have a hardness similar to that of a shoe heel.
Medium faces have a hardness that's suitable for most general purpose applications.
Medium-hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a plastic cutting board.
Hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a bowling ball.
Extra-hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a hard hat.

Replaceable-Face Dead Blow Mallets
The replaceable faces can be changed out when worn. These mallets 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. The polyurethane rubber faces resist oils and solvents and won't crack under high impact; they're often used on plastic, wood, and sheet metal. To avoid marring when tapping or striking, choose a face 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. The handle has a ribbed grip for slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Hickory Hammer Handles.
Medium faces have a hardness that's suitable for most general purpose applications. Extra-hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a hard hat.
Hickory handles resist vibration.

Nail Hammers
Drive nails with the flat, steel face and remove them with the claw on the other end of the head.
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.
Serrated face prevents the head from slipping when striking.
Steel and aluminum handles are stronger than hickory handles but have less vibration resistance.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.
