Solid rubber mallet N°2 black 500 g

This hammer falls within the category special hammers, under hammers, sledges and claw hammers. The weight of 500 grams sits between a light and a heavy version and is intended for work where you want to work in a controlled way with reasonable striking force.

What do you use a black rubber mallet for?

A rubber mallet is often used when fitting and aligning parts, for example laying tiles or paving, loosening joints, or tapping sheet metal and profiles into place. The advantage is that you can control the force without damaging the material. For work where you need to drive nails or shape metal, a rubber head is not the right choice.

The weight of 500 grams

The weight determines how much force you can transfer with a single blow. A hammer of 500 grams is heavy enough to deliver a firm tap, but remains easy to handle over longer periods of work. If you need finer or heavier work, it is better to look at a lighter or heavier version. Also check whether the head and handle suit your type of job.

Choosing and comparing

When comparing, look at the weight, the size of the head and the way the handle is attached. Black rubber can leave marks on some surfaces, so test the hammer first on an inconspicuous spot if you are working on a sensitive surface.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a rubber mallet and an ordinary hammer?

A rubber mallet has a head that gives slightly on impact, so the workpiece is less likely to be damaged. An ordinary hammer with a metal head delivers a hard blow and is intended, among other things, for nails and chisel work.

Can I also drive nails with this hammer?

A rubber mallet is not meant for that. To drive nails, use a hammer with a metal head.

Is 500 gram suitable for heavy work?

It is a medium weight for controlled work. For heavier jobs, look at a heavier rubber mallet or another hammer from the category hammers, sledgehammers and heavy mallets.
