Description
The Narex joiner’s mallet is a traditional-design tool made entirely of beech, designed for joinery and the needs of fine joinery. The head of the mallet measures 60 x 105 x 140 mm, and its overall length is 350 mm. The weight of 726 grams offers enough striking force for tasks that require precision without the tool feeling too heavy to handle.
A key feature of the mallet is the bevelled striking faces of its head. This design is not only aesthetic; it is designed to improve working ergonomics. The bevelled ends allow an optimal striking angle, especially when using chisels, which reduces strain on the wrist and hand in repeated work steps. A wooden striking face is gentler on the ends of chisels than a metal hammer, extending the life of the tools.
Beech has been chosen for its durability and toughness, which makes it an ideal material for wooden mallets. The mallet is suitable for a wide range of woodworking projects that need controlled use of force without the risk of damaging the workpiece.
Intended use:
This joiner’s mallet is intended for professional woodworking. Its main uses are:
- Striking chisels: Offers controlled, sufficient force for using wood chisels, saving the end of the chisel from wear.
- Assembling wood joints: Suitable for fixing and fitting mortise and tenon joints, dovetail joints and other wooden structures without damaging the wooden surface.
- General installation work: Used in situations where force is needed to position pieces but a metal hammer would be too hard.

Narex joiner’s mallet instructions for use:
Always use the bevelled striking faces of the mallet to direct the force correctly. Before use, make sure the head of the mallet is firmly attached to the handle and there are no significant cracks in the wood. The wooden mallet is intended for use with wood or wooden-handled tools (such as chisels). Do not strike metal objects such as nails or sharp corners with the mallet, as this permanently damages the wooden striking face. Store the mallet in a dry place, protected from extreme changes in humidity, to minimise movement of the wood.
Warnings:
Note the following safety points during use:
- Application: Do not use for metalworking or on metal striking tools.
- Protective equipment: Wear safety glasses, especially when working with chisels, because of the risk of splinters.
- Condition: Do not use the mallet if its handle is broken or the head is loose. A damaged tool can cause a hazard.
