Wooden mallets are well suited to shop work such as driving chisels or larger carving tools. Although they tend to be bulky; the wooden striking faces are much kinder to tool handles than steel-face hammers.
Inspired by a vintage tool in Lee Valley's collection; this mallet has the best features of both wood and metal and is a direct substitute for a carpenter's mallet.
The cast brass head has the mass and small size typical of a metal hammer. The 38mm diameter hardwood inserts provide wooden striking faces so you can strike chisels without mushrooming the handles.
