Overview
This is a 12 ounce rubber mallet with a fiberglass handle, sold as a single piece. It is listed under Tools > Hammers, with 100 units bought in the past month.
A rubber head keeps this mallet from marring surfaces, useful for assembling furniture, seating dowels or tapping parts into place. The fiberglass handle is built to absorb shock better than a plain wood handle would. At 12 ounces the head is light, which favors control over the added force of a heavier mallet.

Who it's for
This fits buyers needing a soft face mallet for gentle tapping, assembly or upholstery style work. It does not fit anyone needing heavy demolition force, since a 12 ounce head is too light for driving stakes or breaking material apart.
