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.
Hammers with a tether ring are a good choice for working at height. Hook the ring onto a carabiner or lanyard to prevent the hammer from falling to the ground if dropped.

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.
Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.

These hammers have a head loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. Their fluorescent color makes them easy to see. 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.

Similar to a sledge hammer but with a longer, slimmer head, these tools are used to drive spikes or punch out pins. They're also known as spike mauls. For replacement handles, see Hickory Hammer Handles.

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.
Lead faces are the softest metal faces we offer. They're for use on plastic and soft, nonferrous metal, such as copper and aluminum.
Brass faces are suitable for striking steel, iron, stone, and other hard surfaces.
Bronze faces are good for striking non-ferrous metal, such as aluminum, nickel, and titanium.
Hickory handles resist vibration. Steel and aluminum handles are stronger than hickory handles but have less vibration resistance.
Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.

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.
Acetal plastic handles are lightweight.

A fluorescent orange color makes these mallets easy to see. The head is loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. All are suitable for driving chisels and striking work without damaging its surface. Choose a lighter weight mallet 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. A textured grip provides slip resistance.
Polyurethane rubber faces resist oils and solvents and won't crack under high impact. They're 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 faces have a hardness that's suitable for most general purpose applications.

Also known as upholstery and pin hammers, these tools have a small head for driving tacks and pins in confined areas.
Hammers with a magnetic head hold metal pins in position, so a free hand is not needed to steady the pin before striking it.

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.
Optional 7/8" diameter faces allow for more precise strikes than the included 2" face and are good for driving small pins.

Set solid rivets by hand. These tools are also known as paneing, setting, and seaming hammers. Use the flat end of the head to drive rivets and pins. The other end of the head has a wedge shape for creating corners and seams in sheet metal. For replacement handles, see Hickory Hammer Handles.
Hickory handles resist vibration. Steel handles are stronger than hickory handles but have less vibration resistance. Fiberglass handles combine the strength of steel with the vibration resistance of hickory.
Textured grips provide slip resistance.
