    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.

    Palm Grip Hammers

    No handle means precise control for tapping work into position. These hammers can be used in tight spaces where standard hammers don't have room to swing. The replaceable faces have a hardness similar to that of a hard hat. A hex-shaped body keeps the hammer from rolling when you set it down.
