A wooden mallet (wooden hammer) is a hammer with a wooden head and handle.
Wooden mallets are used in various applications, including furniture assembly, sheet metal working, pile driving, and demolition at construction sites.
Wooden mallets are characterized by the fact that they do not leave scratches or dents when struck. For this reason, a wooden mallet is often used for tasks such as furniture assembly and sheet metal working, where scratches are not desired.
A wooden mallet with a head diameter exceeding 100mm is used for pile driving and demolition work.
The main material used for a wooden mallet is oak.
Wooden mallets (wooden hammers) are generally held in one hand. A hammer with a head diameter of more than 4" has a longer handle and is held with both hands.
When striking with weak and controlled force, hold the handle close to the head. When you want to strike with a strong force, hold the mallet near the end of the handle.
The most important thing to keep in mind when using a wooden mallet is to use it on soft materials. Given that wooden mallets are hard, if the corner of the head hits the material, it may cause a dent. In such a case, place a piece of wood on the spot to be struck and strike over it to prevent scratches or dents.
The key to selecting wooden mallets (wooden hammers) is to consider the size and head shape required for the intended use.
In general, the size of wooden mallets used in the assembly of wooden products and sheet metal is about 1.5 to 2.3" in diameter for the head and 11 to 14" in length for the handle. Wooden mallets used in civil engineering and demolition have a head diameter of 90mm or more and a handle length of 90cm or more. It is best to choose wooden mallets of a size that are easy to use.
A typical wooden mallet has a cylindrical head and a flat hitting surface. However, the shape of the head differs depending on the application. The following is a list of shapes and characteristics of non-generic wooden mallets.
A temporary frame wooden mallet is shaped like a pestle, with the handle extending long to one side. Temporary frame wooden mallets are used for temporary concrete frames.
