Hammers & Mallets

Hammers and mallets apply force for driving nails, chisels and stakes or shaping metal.  Claw hammers pull nails, ball‑peen hammers shape metal, and wooden mallets strike chisels without damaging handles.  Specialty hammers include soft‑face mallets for delicate work and brick hammers for masonry.

What is the difference between a hammer and a mallet?
A hammer typically has a metal head and is used for driving nails, breaking objects, or shaping materials. A mallet usually has a softer head made from wood, rubber, or plastic, and is used for tasks that require force without damaging the work surface.

How do I choose the right hammer or mallet for my project?
The choice depends on the material and task. For driving nails into wood, a claw hammer is common. For woodworking joints or chiselling, a wooden mallet is preferred. For delicate work or avoiding surface marks, a rubber mallet is ideal.

How should I care for my hammers and mallets?
Store them in a dry place to avoid rust or swelling of wooden handles. Check regularly for loose heads or cracked handles and replace parts if needed. Wipe metal heads clean and apply light oil if they are prone to rust.
