About Hammers

Hit the nail on the head with the right hammer; choose by main feature, material, and size.

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.

Copper Face

Copper faces are harder than lead faces, but softer than brass or bronze faces. They’re an alternative for aluminum faces. Use them on brass, copper, aluminum, and steel.

Hickory Handle—Our most vibration-resistant handles, they keep the force of blows from buzzing through your arm.

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.

Press-Fit Copper Face

Copper faces are for use on brass, copper, aluminum, and steel.

Create-Your-Own Mallets

Assembled Hammer

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 with Screw-In Face Mount


	Screw-In Face

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.
