Cheap Mallet/maul That Weighs More Than The Tandy Kit

[impulse]

Hi Ray

I'm on a tight budget, so can also recommend a dead-blow hammer - 3lb. I found, with some of the smaller stamps, the rubber surface was becoming chipped so I glued (using contact adhesive) discs of heavy leather (flesh side out) to each face of the hammer. Has been working perfectly now for about a year.

Cheers

W Rising poly maul

I have this poly maul & it has been great. They have raw hide & poly mallets also which I have & use.

Some folks have drilled a 3/8" hole in their wooden mallets and filled the hole with lead. You can pour melted lead if you want to go that route, or cut a shotgun shell or two open and pour the lead shot into it an cap it off with some epoxy glue and a thin wood or cork plug.
