Replaceable-Face Dead Blow Mallets
The replaceable faces can be changed out when worn. These mallets 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. The polyurethane rubber faces resist oils and solvents and won't crack under high impact; they're often used on plastic, wood, and sheet metal. To avoid marring when tapping or striking, choose a face 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. The handle has a ribbed grip for slip resistance.
Medium faces have a hardness that's suitable for most general purpose applications. Extra-hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a hard hat.
Hickory handles resist vibration.

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.
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.
Steel and aluminum handles are stronger than hickory handles but have less vibration resistance.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.

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.
Mallets with two face materials can be used for a wider range of applications than other mallets.
Rubber and plastic faces are softer than metal faces, so they're good for striking plastic, wood, and sheet metal. All have a face hardness rating for comparing their hardness with other rubber and plastic faces. Extra-hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a hard hat.
Brass faces are harder than copper and suitable for striking steel, iron, stone, and other hard surfaces.
Nonsparking Mallets
The faces and head are made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, so these tools inhibit sparking, resist corrosion, and are nonmagnetic. They satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. All are suitable for driving chisels and striking work without damaging its surface. To avoid marring the workpiece, use these mallets on material that is harder than the metal faces. 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. A textured grip provides slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Fiberglass Hammer Handles.
Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.

Replaceable-Face Dead Blow Sledge Hammers
Change out the faces when they become worn. The head on these hammers is loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. Use them to 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.
Screw-in hammers have polyurethane rubber faces that resist oils and solvents and won't crack under high impact. Each face can be switched out for a face with a different hardness. The medium face has a hardness that's suitable for most general purpose applications. The extra-hard face has a hardness similar to that of a hard hat.

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.
33" long hammers can be swung with both hands to deliver a more powerful strike than shorter hammers.

Nail Hammers
Drive nails with the flat, steel face and remove them with the claw on the other end of the head.
Straight-claw hammers are also known as framing hammers. They're a good choice for ripping and prying wood in addition to nail removal, but they do not remove nails as efficiently as curved-claw hammers.
Dead blow nail hammers have a head loaded with metal shot for a controlled impact and minimal rebound. The handle is lightweight to provide a fast swing while driving nails.
Serrated face prevents the head from slipping when striking.
Steel and aluminum handles are stronger than hickory handles but have less vibration resistance.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.
Hammers with a magnetic nail starter hold nails in position at the top of the head, so a free hand is not needed to steady the nail before striking it.

Adjustable Air-Powered Needle Scalers
Change the blows-per-minute by varying the pressure on the speed control. The small needles on these tools gently tap surfaces to remove unwanted rust, scale, paint, and weld spatter. They generate little dust and are excellent for use on irregular-shaped areas and in tight spots.
Piston stroke determines the force of a scaler. The longer the stroke, the greater the force.
