Blue Spruce Toolworks - Blue Spruce Toolworks Rectangular Joiner's Mallet
Jul 30, 2014
Tough Mallet Has a Soft Side
Man has been banging on things for thousands of years, but Blue Spruce Toolworks recently elevated the activity with its new joiner’s mallet. This wonderfully functional and beautiful tool has a comfortably faceted hickory handle and a tiger-maple head infused with an acrylic resin that adds toughness. The mallet is well balanced (I used the 16-oz. version) and feels like a natural extension of my hand.
One face of the head is capped with leather—perfect for when you need a light touch for tapping joints together.
