16 oz Rubber Mallet Hammer (1 Lb), 12 in, Non-Marring Soft Face Head — Open-Box, 41% Off

Sized for One-Hand Control: This 16 oz hammer mallet is 12 in (30.5 cm) long, with a 4 x 2.3 in head and a 2.3 in face, so it stays easy to aim in tight spaces. Need more force? It is also made in 20, 24 and 32 oz.

Soft Blows That Leave No Marks: The solid head of this rubber hammer mallet absorbs shock and seats parts without denting, chipping or marking hardwood, laminate, tile, trim or paint, and the flat face spreads each hit.

A Grip That Holds All Day: A steel-core handle under a textured non-slip rubber grip keeps this hammer mallet balanced in wet or gloved hands, and the anti-vibration build takes the sting out of long sessions.

Jobs It Was Built For: Use these rubber mallets for woodworking joints, as a flooring mallet on laminate planks, or as a camping mallet for tent stakes in wood or plastic. Tile, upholstery tacks and dorm bed frames too.

Know What You Are Buying: This is a soft hammer with a rubber face, not a dead blow, a sledge or a framing tool. Driving steel stakes, rebar or masonry nails, or splitting firewood, will tear the head.

"The LEGLO 16 oz rubber mallet is the size most people reach for first. It runs 12 in (30.5 cm) overall, with a 4 x 2.3 in head and a 2.3 in face. That is enough mass to seat a plank or a furniture dowel without swinging two-handed. Need more force? The same mallet is made in 20 oz, 24 oz and 32 oz. Check the size selector before you order. The head is solid rubber, so blows stay soft and non-marring on hardwood, laminate, tile and paint. Inside the handle is a steel core, wrapped in a textured non-slip rubber grip. It holds in wet or gloved hands, and it damps the vibration that makes your wrist ache. Everyday jobs: laminate and hardwood flooring, tile setting, furniture and shelving assembly, upholstery tacks, and a rubber mallet for dorm bed risers. As a woodworking mallet it taps chisels and drives joints together; as a craft hammer it sets leather stamps. On a laminate run it doubles as a flooring hammer. Campers pack it as a camping hammer for tent stakes in wood or plastic. It is a tent stake hammer that seats a peg without splitting it, and a tent hammer light enough to carry. Heavy duty hammer here means the build — a steel core and a solid rubber head — not extra weight to swing. Steel stakes and rebar are the one job to keep it away from. What it is not: a dead blow, a sledge or a framing tool. Mallet rubber tears when it is used to drive steel stakes or rebar, split firewood or strike hardened steel. A new head has a mild rubber smell that fades in a few days."
