I prefer a carver’s style mallet for chisel work. With properly sharpened chisels, a medium weight mallet does the job without excessive fatigue to the craftsman.

Early mallets I owned had smooth lacquered handles that had to be held tightly to prevent them from slipping. A long day of chopping mortises or dovetails would leave my hand and wrist sore. My solution was to tape the handle with sports tape like a hockey stick. This allows me to use a relaxed grip with a lot less fatigue.

We use resin impregnated maple heads, making for a very tough head that will give you years of use. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how comfortable my mallet is over the course of a long day in the shop.

Resin impregnated Maple heads.
The handle is inserted through the head, and is glued and screwed in place with two #12 by 1-1/2" coarse threaded screws that straddle the joint line.
The regular mallet head is 4 inches long. The resin impregnated maple head is turned on a lathe until it meets our desired weight standards; thus, the diameter measurement can vary slightly from mallet to mallet.
The overall length of the regular mallet with the handle attached is 9-1/2 inches long.
The overall weight of the regular mallet with handle is between 350 (12.3 oz) and 400 grams (14.1 oz)

Handle shape and hockey grip tape make it comfortable to hold with a relaxed grip. We tape the handle for you.
Slight taper of the head improves the striking angle of the head.

I wanted a decent mallet here in the UK, and having seen hundreds of Rob’s YT videos I decided to make the purchase. The mallet was well packed for the shipment, and a day or so before it arrived I got a phone call from Rob, which was a neat touch.

I have a few other items from Rob, but sourced from UK retail outlets and i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend any of his items to anyone considering buying.

Marvelous Mallet

Rob’s mallet version was ever much as beautiful as the pictures. There was apparent close attention to detail and the design very thought out. It was perfectly balanced for my needs and am glad i went with the “carver’s style “ mallet vs a square or curved “square” design. It feels good in the hand - not too heavy - not too light.

Nice Mallet

I ordered a variety of products. The shipping was fast and the order was filled accurately and packed well. The communication was outstanding. The mallet handle was wrapped with hockey tape, which I appreciate. It's going to be used, not be a pegboard queen. Hope my wife does not borrow it to tenderize meat. If has a nice feel in the hand and is well balanced. The other items ( plane ) dodads were labeled well. I've been busy with spring clean up, and have not had the opportunity to use these items yet. I have no concerns as to their functionality.

This is perfect

What a mallet. Perfectly weighted, balanced and sized for my needs and super hard. I have used it a fair bit since getting it and it doesn't look like I have used it much at all. The contoured grip with tape is spot on and ensures this thing can be handled just how you like it.

Yet another quality tool!

Can I just copy and paste from my reviews of my previous purchases? The mallet is a solid and quite dense high quality piece of work! I’m so pleased with the design and craftsmanship.
