Create-Your-Own Mallets
Pair a body with two faces of different materials to create the perfect striking tool. Use mallets to drive chisels and strike work without damaging its surface. To avoid marring, use a face material 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.
Bodies for clamping-head face mount mallets have a head with two pieces that clamp together to grip faces tightly. They include a head, nut, and replaceable handle. To assemble, loosen the nut under the head, insert the faces, and tighten the nut.

Rubber and plastic faces are softer than metal faces, so they're good for sheet metal work. All have a face hardness rating for comparing their hardness with other rubber and plastic faces.
Hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a bowling ball.
Extra-hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a hard hat.

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.
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.
Hickory handles resist vibration.
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.Rawhide faces are more durable than plastic and won't distort the surface of soft sheet metal, such as brass, aluminum, and copper.Hickory and ash handles resist vibration.

Hammer Faces
Replace faces on a compatible hammer or mallet head or switch to a face with a different hardness.
Clamping-head faces are for use in heads with two pieces that clamp together to hold the face in place. Press-fit faces can be used in clamping heads and pressed into hammer heads that have been drilled out.
Rubber and plastic faces are softer than metal faces, so they're good for sheet metal work. All have a face hardness rating for comparing their hardness with other rubber and plastic faces.
Hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a bowling ball.
Extra-hard faces have a hardness similar to that of a hard hat.
Rawhide faces are more durable than plastic and won't distort the surface of soft sheet metal, such as brass, aluminum, and copper.
Copper faces are for use on brass, copper, aluminum, and steel.
Faces cannot be sold to the listed areas due to import regulations.
