As these metals are softer than steel, the mallet is deformed by any excessive force, rather than any steel object it is hitting. Rawhide and Rubber mallets both offer soft striking surfaces which are designed to prevent damaging, marring or denting soft metals used by leathercrafters, instrument makers/repairers, and jewelers. The decision of which to use is really up to the person needing the tool. They can be used interchangeably. The biggest difference between the rubber and rawhide materials is that when a rubber mallet is damaged it must be discarded. A rawhide mallet can be trimmed, filed, sanded, and/or rasped, then continue being used. Rawhide Mallet vs Nylon/Poly Mallet Rawhide mallet- These mallets consist of a metal head with a rawhide face. They have the advantage of being able to strike heavily with minimal surface damage due to the cushioning elements of the rawhide covering.

Bossing mallets - A type of mallet featuring a rounded face and a conical face, primarily used for shaping wood or metal into the desired shape and surface. A rawhide mallet that is ready for use in the shop will not have any discernible spiral of the leather that is wrapped up to form the head of the mallet. The end of a rawhide mallet should resemble the fuzzy side of a piece of leather. There should be fibers of the leather visible on the striking surface. They usually also feature a long wooden handle, although some may feature other materials such as fibreglass. They are often used in industries involving woodworking or upholstery as they deliver a softer strike force more suited to the materials that tend to be used in such applications.Mallets are a type of hammer designed for a range of applications, the key difference between a standard hammer and a mallet is that mallets usually consist of a barrel shaped, non-metallic head. On the lighter end of the spectrum, the rawhide is rolled tight with a resin coating that hardens. Those lighter weight mallets are popular with leatherworkers. They are good for tapping down stitch lines, installing hardware like snaps and rivets, and pounding on glued layers to help secure the adhesive bond. These tasks do not require a heavy mallet head.

Indian cobbler tool kit, with an iron mallet Dead blow mallets typically have an internal cavity partially filled with steel shot, lead shot, or loose sand. This modification evens out the time- impulse curve of the impact, enabling a more powerful blow to be delivered without risk of marring the target. [ further explanation needed] Split head mallets have removable faces which can be changed to an appropriate material for the job.

Rubber/Plastic mallet - Consisting of a barrel head made of rubber, a rubber or plastic mallet has the advantage of delivering a powerful blow, using a soft head for minimal marring of surfaces. They tend to recoil as their rubberised nature gives them an element of bounce, so safety measures like eyewear should be taken. They can also become dented and pitted if used to strike sharp objects, so they tend to work best on blunt items. There are many applications where the right mallet will make all the difference to the results of your work. To help Cromwell has listed the most common elements to choosing the correct mallet for the job.An illustration of the mallet can be found in Charles F. Mitchell's Building Construction, 11th edition, printed in 1930 by B.T. Batford, Ltd. Nylon/Poly mallets are similar to their Rawhide counterparts. They are a soft material designed to provide a hard striking tool without damaging, denting or marring the surfaces of soft metals or damaging leathercrafters’ tools. The main difference between rawhide and nylon/poly material mallets is that when a nylon mallet is damaged, it must be discarded. A rawhide mallet can be trimmed, filed, sanded, and/or rasped, then continue being used.

A mallet is a tool used for imparting force on another object, often made of rubber or sometimes wood, that is smaller than a maul or beetle, and usually has a relatively large head. Carver's mallets feature heads where the axis of rotation is in line with the handle (so the hitting surface is always round) in a shape like a cylinder on its end, or a conical frustum, or half of a capsule (see images of "stonemason's mallets" to the right). The round striking surface is designed to drive a chisel or wedge and allows for a face to strike when swinging from any angle. [9] Rawhide - A type of leather that has not been exposed to tanning, primarily used to cover the face of rawhide mallets because of its softness. Beetle mallets, also called a persuader or commander, [2] [3] are large mallets with a wood [4] [5] or plastic [ citation needed] head, with rounded ends about 15 to 18 inches (380 to 460mm) [ dubious – discuss] in diameter, and a handle about 3 feet (0.91m) long. It is used by paviours for tapping paving stones into position when bedding them [ dubious – discuss]. Beetles are used in jobs such as timber framing [6] to shift the bases of large wooden posts, to fit joints, to drive in pegs, [7] to split wood or rails. [8] This soft-face hammer is suitable for use as a dual purpose hammer in manufacturing, service and assembly industries. The hide face is ideal for applications where you don't want to disrupt the surface of a workpiece too much, and might be useful in jewelry making or metalworking. It also creates less noise than a metal faced hammer. The copper face provides a high impact blow that is also very safe to use against metal surfaces- minimizing sparking and rebound risks, with less chance of damaging metal workpieces.Rawhide mallets, which may employ rawhide covering a steel head, or simply consist of rolled-up rawhide, are used for leatherwork, jewellery, and assembling electric motors and delicate machinery.
