Overview
A hammer from C&T built with a rubber head and a wood handle. The rubber head design points to a mallet suited for softer strikes than a steel-headed hammer.
A rubber head is chosen over steel when the job calls for driving or shaping without marking or denting the material, common in woodworking, upholstery or assembly work. The wood handle is the traditional choice for absorbing shock during repeated strikes.
- Rubber head material
- Wood handle
- C&T branded hammer
- Soft-strike mallet style hammer
Who it's for
Fits woodworkers, upholsterers and assemblers who need a soft-strike hammer that will not mark the material being worked. Not the choice for driving nails or heavy demolition work that calls for a steel head.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Rubber head avoids marking softer materials
- Wood handle absorbs shock
- Not suited to driving nails or heavy demolition
Performance notes
A rubber head absorbs impact and spreads force over a strike, which reduces marking on wood, plastic or upholstery surfaces compared to a steel head. The wood handle helps dampen vibration back to the hand during repeated use.
