Mallet hammers are specialised hand tools similar to hammers but with a larger head, usually made from wood or rubber. These striking tools are designed to deliver non-damaging, soft blows when tapping the surfaces. A mallet hammer reduces the risks of damaging delicate materials, such as ceramic tiles or laminate floors, distributing the force evenly. They come with larger, often replaceable heads in various shapes and sizes. Mallets are versatile handheld tools used for a variety of applications where steel hammers can damage the surfaces.
Why Buy Mallets?
Mallets offer unparalleled benefits in applications where damaging the workpiece is a concern. Their larger, softer heads distribute force over a wider area, reducing the risk of dents, scratches, or other damage. Additionally, mallet hammers are favoured for their lightweight, affordability, ergonomic designs, reduced hand fatigue, and durability.
