Mallets and sledge hammers are fundamental tools in the hardscaping and construction industry. A mallet, often made from softer materials like wood, rubber, or plastic, is used for striking without damaging the surface. Sledge hammers, on the other hand, are heavy-duty tools designed for breaking through hard materials.

There are a variety of mallets available, each suited for specific tasks:

Wood Mallets: Ideal for traditional carpentry and joinery.
Rubber Mallets: Perfect for paving and tiling as they provide a soft but firm hit.
Rawhide Mallets: Best for soft stones preventing chipping.
Plastic Mallets: Useful for DIY projects.

Sledge hammers come in various sizes and weights, tailored for different tasks:

Lightweight Hammers: Suitable for small-scale demolition or driving stakes.
Heavy-Duty Hammers: Ideal for major demolition work in construction.

Understanding the specific needs of your project is key to selecting the right option of either a mallet or sledge hammer.

Maintaining your tools is essential. Pave Tool offers replacement mallet handles and a variety of hammer accessories to ensure your tools are always in top condition.

Choosing the Right Tool

When selecting between a mallet and a sledge hammer, consider the material you’ll be working with and the nature of the task.
