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.
Rawhide faces are more durable than plastic and won't distort the surface of soft sheet metal, such as brass, aluminum, and copper. Lead-filled heads deliver a heavier, more balanced blow than standard rawhide heads.
Lead faces are the softest metal faces we offer. They're for use on plastic and soft, nonferrous metal, such as copper and aluminum.
Aluminum and copper faces are harder than lead and softer than brass. Use them on brass, copper, aluminum, and steel.
Brass faces are suitable for striking steel, iron, stone, and other hard surfaces.
Hickory handles resist vibration. Fiberglass handles combine the strength of steel with the vibration resistance of wood.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.
Mallets cannot be sold to the listed areas due to import regulations.

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.Rawhide faces are more durable than plastic and won't distort the surface of soft sheet metal, such as brass, aluminum, and copper.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 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.
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.
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.

Ball Peen Hammers
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. For replacement handles, see Hickory Hammer Handles and Fiberglass Hammer Handles.

Sledge Hammers
Demolish material, form metal, and drive punches, chisels, and masonry drills. For demolition work, choose a hammer with a face that's harder than your workpiece. Longer and heavier hammers deliver greater impact.
10" to 16" long hammers are also known as engineers', drilling, club, and crack hammers. Use them for light demolition and tasks where longer hammers don't have room to swing.
Steel faces are the hardest metal faces we offer. Use them on stone, concrete, and hardened nails.
Hickory handles resist vibration. Steel handles are stronger than wooden handles but have less vibration resistance.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.
Nonsparking Sledge Hammers
The faces and head are made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, so these tools inhibit sparking and are nonmagnetic and corrosion resistant. They satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Use them to demolish material, form metal, and drive punches, chisels, and masonry drills. For demolition work, ensure that the workpiece is softer than the metal faces. Longer and heavier hammers deliver greater impact. All have a textured or ribbed grip for slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Fiberglass Hammer Handles.
14" long hammers are also known as engineers', drilling, club, lump, and crack hammers. Use them for light demolition and tasks where longer hammers don't have room to swing.
Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.

Nonsparking Blacksmiths' Hammers
The faces and head are made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, so these tools inhibit sparking and are nonmagnetic and corrosion resistant. They satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Use the flat end of the head to strike metal, concrete, and stone; the wedge-shaped end is for shaping and bending metal. These tools are also known as cross-peen hammers. A textured grip provides slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Fiberglass Hammer Handles.
Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.
