    Dead Blow Ball Peen Hammers

    These hammers have a head loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. Their fluorescent color makes them easy to see. Use the domed end of the head for forming soft metal, rounding off edges, and closing rivets. The flat striking face is for driving nails, pins, punches, and chisels. A textured grip provides slip resistance.

    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.

    Nonsparking Mallets

    The faces and head are made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, so these tools inhibit sparking, resist corrosion, and are nonmagnetic. They satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. All are suitable for driving chisels and striking work without damaging its surface. To avoid marring the workpiece, use these mallets on material that is harder than the metal faces. 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. A textured grip provides slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Fiberglass Hammer Handles.
    Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.

    High-Visibility Replaceable-Face Dead Blow Mallets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hammers. High-Visibility Replaceable-Face Dead Blow Mallets .
    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. Use a face that's softer than your workpiece to avoid marring. Lighter weight mallets are good for tapping work into place and driving a chisel to make small cuts. Choose heavier weight mallets for 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.
