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.

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.
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. Medium-hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a cutting board.
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.
Bronze faces are good for striking non-ferrous metal, such as aluminum, nickel, and titanium.
Hickory handles resist vibration.
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.
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. Medium-soft faces have a hardness similar to that of a shoe heel. Hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a bowling ball. Hickory and ash handles resist vibration.

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.
Hickory and beech handles resist vibration. Steel handles are stronger than wooden handles but have less vibration resistance. Fiberglass handles combine the strength of steel with the vibration resistance of wood.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.
Ball-Peen Hammer Sets

Nonsparking Ball Peen Hammers
The face 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. 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. All have a textured grip for slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Fiberglass Hammer Handles.

Nail Hammers
Drive nails with the flat, steel face and remove them with the claw on the other end of the head.
Curved-claw hammers provide high leverage for nail removal. 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.
Steel and aluminum handles are stronger than hickory handles but have less vibration resistance.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.

Place against the face of your workpiece and strike with a hammer. The blow will transfer to the workpiece without damaging the finish. Also known as dinging spoons, these tools are often used to smooth ridges and dings in sheet metal.
Style B have large, slightly curved faces for efficient finishing and shaping of sheet metal edges.
Place on the back side of your workpiece to act as a support when you strike it. Also known as dolly blocks.
