maul weight

[azrider]

I just had two made by Bearman, a 14oz and a 20oz. The 14oz is wonderful for small intricate stuff, and the 20oz makes the rest of it go really fast. Don't know that I will use a mallet again.

Over the years I have compiled maul information (sizes, shapes, materials, etc) from personal experience and personal research . I have compiled the weights below from various forums and even asked the same question on favorite size (weight) and so forth. From 282 responses here are the responses that I received...

Usually the first maul I reach for is a 17oz. I also have another 17oz, that I used for quite some time, even though it was an experimental head design. It's rounded on one side, like a maul, & it's flat on the other, like a mallet. For the lighter weight stuff I use a 10oz.

I'm new to leather working and made my own maul two weeks ago. I used it this last week to tool the border on a holster. I'm sold I'm not going to bother with a mallet of any type.
