    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 Nylon Face
    Nylon faces are softer than metal faces, so they're good for striking plastic, wood, and sheet metal.
    Hickory Handle—Hickory handles resist vibration.
    Hard Face—Hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a bowling ball.
    Face Hardness Rating—All have a face hardness rating for comparing their hardness with other rubber and plastic faces.

    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.

    Slide Sledge Hammers

    Strike work in tight spaces where standard hammers don't have room to swing. The steel face on these hammers is hard enough to demolish material and drive pins, punches, and masonry drills. To use, pull back the slide bar and forcefully push the bar forward into the hammer's steel chamber. This drives the face into the workpiece for a powerful strike. All have a ribbed grip for slip resistance.
