McMaster 6086A13 Replaceable-Face Mallet, Screw-In Acetal & Brass Faces, Maple Handle, 4 oz, 9″ Long

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.

Mallets with two face materials can be used for a wider range of applications than other mallets.

Acetal Face — Acetal faces are softer than metal faces, so they’re good for striking plastic, wood, and sheet metal.

Brass Face — Brass faces are harder than copper and suitable for striking steel, iron, stone, and other hard surfaces.
