Rubber Mallet

These are an incredibly versatile,lightweight hammer like tool, providing a simple and effective way to drive screws, stakes and chisels without damaging the surfaces of softer materials. Rubber mallets provide the advantage of cushioning that regular metal hammers wouldn’t be able to offer, making them ideal for when you want just enough impact to get a specific job done without causing any damage. Rubber mallets are relatively lightweight and comfortable to use, allowing for extended periods of use with reduced fatigue. The heads on these hammers are made from moulded rubber or hard plastic and normally have a wooden or fibreglass handle. Rubber is the most common type due to its low cost and durability. Look for one with a cushioned grip for added comfort during prolonged use.
