White Rubber Mallet

Instead of a large mallet, jewelers, metalworkers, and furniture makers may better prefer and appreciate the small frame of Estwing’s double-faced mallet. One side of it has a soft rubber, allowing for optimum customization, and the wooden handle material is smooth and fits nicely in-hand. The types of rubber mallets get more detailed the more you niche down, too (think: wood and metalworking mallets), but you’ll discover more about rubber mallet characteristics up ahead. Buyers may also want to consider the types of handles that a mallet might have, the handle material, handle length, and any handle features that could come in handy. Rubber mallet handles, lightweight fiberglass-handle mallets, or versions with any kind of rubberized grip, provide added comfort and safety—a non-slip rubber grip or textured grip can ensure the mallet stays put in your hand while working. But there are also wooden handle mallets, which are soft and smooth when held. Whether coated or made mostly of rubber, the rubber heads of these mallets also contain another material, such as steel shot, giving it more force or the technology to prevent bounce and rebound.

Although their not-so-refined barrel-shaped heads may seem clunky, rubber mallets can do so much that other tools can’t, and it’s worth having at least one in your toolbox. Here’s how to wade through the vast assortment of rubber mallets on the market, and what to look out for when searching for a new mallet for your toolbox.These heads are completely made out of rubber and while they still provide plenty of power, this head has a softer impact than mallets coated in rubber, thus leading to less damage.
