Get the Job Done Right with Quality Mallets
Our range includes rubber, wooden, plastic, and dead-blow mallets, each designed for specific applications. Rubber mallets are perfect for flooring installation, tile work, and general construction, offering excellent shock absorption and surface protection. Wooden mallets are the go-to choice for woodworking, furniture assembly, and chisel work, providing controlled force without marring timber surfaces. For automotive work and metalworking, plastic and nylon mallets won't damage finished surfaces or parts.
We stock trusted Australian and international brands like Supercraft, Ox, and DTA, known for their durability and reliability on job sites across Australia. Our mallets feature comfortable handles made from fibreglass, timber, or steel, designed to reduce fatigue during extended use. Head weights typically range from 8oz to 32oz, giving you options for both precision work and heavier-duty applications.
When choosing a mallet, consider the material you'll be working with and the force required. Softer materials like rubber and plastic are ideal for delicate surfaces, while harder wooden or dead-blow mallets suit tougher applications. Handle length and grip comfort are also important, especially for repetitive tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a mallet and a hammer?
Mallets have larger, softer striking faces made from rubber, wood, or plastic, designed to spread impact force and prevent surface damage. Hammers have smaller metal heads for driving nails and delivering concentrated force.
Which mallet is best for laying laminate flooring?
A rubber mallet is your best choice for flooring installation. The rubber head protects the flooring surface while providing enough force to tap boards into place without causing damage.
Can I use a mallet for metalwork?
Yes, plastic, nylon, or dead-blow mallets are excellent for metalwork as they won't damage metal surfaces or leave marks, making them perfect for panel work and assembly tasks.
