The Hammer Source carries a complete line of Copper Hammers and Copper Mallets. Copper Hammers range in size from 1/2 ounce to 24 lbs. Plastic mallets, made of nylon, polycarbonate, or polystyrene are used especially in leatherwork and jewellery. With the right type of copper mallet, you can achieve a polished finish and delicate touch that other tools may not be able to provide. You use a hammer to hit things and therefore hammer safety generally involves making sure that you cleanly hit the thing you intended, and that any fragments from where the strike is made are contained safely, or protected against. The amount of strike force needed - Again a key consideration. If you're working with tough materials, you will probably need to opt for a mallet with a heavy head. A rubber mallet used on machinery, whilst not marring the surface will not deliver the weight behind the strike that a brass or copper mallet would deliver.

Rubber/Plastic mallet - Consisting of a barrel head made of rubber, a rubber or plastic mallet has the advantage of delivering a powerful blow, using a soft head for minimal marring of surfaces. They tend to recoil as their rubberised nature gives them an element of bounce, so safety measures like eyewear should be taken. They can also become dented and pitted if used to strike sharp objects, so they tend to work best on blunt items. They usually also feature a long wooden handle, although some may feature other materials such as fibreglass. They are often used in industries involving woodworking or upholstery as they deliver a softer strike force more suited to the materials that tend to be used in such applications. Bossing mallets - A type of mallet featuring a rounded face and a conical face, primarily used for shaping wood or metal into the desired shape and surface. When it comes to choosing the right copper mallet, it’s important to consider your specific needs. The size and weight of the mallet can make a big difference in the level of control you have over your project. If you’re working on delicate metalwork, a lighter mallet may be more appropriate, while heavier mallets are better for larger, tougher projects.

You might also think that there are all the same parts of a hammer but again these can differ depending on the type of hammer.Investing in a quality copper mallet is worth it, as it can make your work easier and give you finer control. As well as creating rivets and other fasteners, these hammers are suitable for this task. By heating the tip of the hammer and then using it to forge a small piece of metal, the metalsmith can make a secure fastener that will hold firm against even the most strenuous conditions. Dead blow mallets typically have an internal cavity partially filled with steel shot, lead shot, or loose sand. This modification evens out the time- impulse curve of the impact, enabling a more powerful blow to be delivered without risk of marring the target. [ further explanation needed]
