Tools and Hardware Reviews of QUIET 18 OZ MALLET

Customer Review: A very nice mallet
Summary: 5 Stars

I am relatively new to woodworking as a hobby and have mostly hand tools in my personal workshop. I bought this mallet to use with standard bevel chisels for cutting joints, joint fitting and assembly.

I am an average size guy and find this size and weight tool to be generally useful and not too heavy to be easily controlled. I particularly like that the striking surface material has been durable, the handle assembly stays tight, it does not damage the chisel handles and does not leave marks/color on wood.

The shape of the handle and the mallet body make it easy to use. I hold it from the handle when swinging for serious impact or grasp the mallet head when making light taps for carving/trimming. I like that the mallet stands up on the bench nicely in a handle up position and find the appearance pleasing.

The striking material the composes the mallet striking surface absorbs the shock of impact a bit and for cuts in very dense wood (rosewood in my experience) a small metal hammer seems to transmit the striking force more crisply into the chisel, and with less bounce off the chisel handle.

Description of QUIET 18 OZ MALLET

This high quality line of quiet mallets is guaranteed unbreakable. The heads are made of a tough urethane material designed to be quiet, and yet able to transmit the maximum blow to the tool. The handles are beautifully turned out of selected, premium New England hardwoods. They are polish sanded. Our mallets come in four popular weights of 12, 18, 20 and 30 ounces. Both the 12 ounce and 18 ounce mallets have a small urethane head of 2 3/4" diameter. The 20 ounce and 30 ounce mallets have a urethane head of 3 1/2" diameter.
