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.
