Rubber Carving Mallet, Small, 11.2 in and 12.7 oz with TPR Grip
A small, light mallet with a rubber-type head for tapping carving chisels and gouges when hand pressure is not enough. It is about 11.2 in (285 mm) long and weighs about 12.7 oz (359 g), with a barrel-shaped black head about 1.8 in (46 mm) across and 3.1 in (80 mm) long on an orange shaft with a black TPR grip. The manufacturer makes it as a tile and floor installation mallet; we offer the small size for light carving work. Each order is one small mallet.
What it does
- Light blows: the rubber-type head and 12.7 oz (359 g) weight are meant for light tapping on chisels and gouges made to be struck, not for heavy chopping.
- Two flat faces: the barrel-shaped head has a flat striking face at each end, about 1.8 in (46 mm) across, as pictured.
- TPR grip: an orange shaft with a black TPR grip with finger grooves; the manufacturer describes it as a fiber handle.
- Hang hole: a hole at the end of the grip lets you hang the mallet on a hook, as pictured.
- Small size: about 11.2 in (285 mm) overall with a 9.1 in (232 mm) handle; this listing is the small size only.
