Description
The Procat rubber mallet with fibreglass handle is a versatile tool particularly suited to jobs that need a soft but effective blow without damaging the surface being worked. The striking head of the rubber mallet reduces vibration and prevents marks, for example in tiling, parquet and laminate installation or sheet metal work.
The mallet has a shock-absorbing, durable fibreglass handle that makes the tool light but strong. The non-slip rubber coating on the handle improves comfort and safety. Procat rubber mallets are available in three weight classes:
-
16 oz: for light precision work
-
24 oz: for general use
-
32 oz: for heavier striking work
The black and white rubber head colour options allow use on different materials without leaving marks.
Intended use:
-
Floor and wall installation:
Particularly suitable for firm but gentle installation of parquet, laminate and tiles. The rubber mallet lets you knock elements firmly into place without damage or cracks. -
Sheet metal work and shaping sheet metal:
The rubber mallet can be used for straightening and shaping when you do not want dents or marks on metal surfaces. The fibreglass handle adds control and power. -
Assembling furniture and structures:
Used for tapping wooden parts and components into place without damaging joints or surfaces. Particularly useful for glue clamping and fitting wooden dowels. -

Material being worked: A rubber mallet is best suited to wood, plastic, metal and stone, and does not break even more delicate materials
