Small Rubber Mallet Hammer – 25 mm Double-Sided Rubber and Nylon Head

Lots of issues from other users here but my experience it pretty good. Head is tight on the handle and hard to imagine it coming loose. This hammer is for light gunsmithing work not driving framing nails. Rubber handle is a little small in diameter but I have large hands and I like it. Heads, especially the brass and aluminum loosen (unscrew) in use which is very annoying. My solution was to buy two of these (come on, they are pretty darned inexpensive) and use blue locktite on the face threads. This way you have two hammers, four different, semi-permanently installed, hammer faces plus a spare set of faces if one gets damaged. This solved the loosening problem for me and I don't have to keep changing heads. The thread holes in the head on mine were dead nuts centered. Guess I got lucky! I don't expect this hammer to last a lifetime...but it just might and if it doesn't, $16 isn't going to break the bank to buy another one! I would recommend this hammer to a fellow gunsmith.

Excellent lightweight hammer. I use them primarily for gunsmith work. I purchased 2 so I had all 4 heads available instantly. Each head has its uses. Great choice for my needs. I would highly recommend this tool. The only con is that sometimes the head will loosen under use. All the more reason to have 2 with all four heads. A small drop of blue loc-tite prevents any possible loosening!!

The weight of this hammer is great for smalleer working around the mill and lathe, but the brass head constantly comes loose every strike. I had to use channellocks to tighten it. Easy to use other than that, priced fairly and looks good with all the additional attachements.

Hey what can I say about this hammer that's not the obvious. It's bangin! No, I mean that. The pin heads I use it on, go down pretty quick. Look, you have some pin head, and some times when the punches alone are not enough, you gotta use this hammer. A couple whacks and it's done. I like the changeable hammer heads too. There's 4 heads to this hammer. A metal, a brass, a rubber, and a nylon. Use which ever you need to. Leave visible marks, go the metal, but if not, there's the nylon. No marking up with that one. It is a reliable hammer and I have already used it quite a bit in the short time since it was delivered and I recommend it! Oh, did I mention, I do some gunsmithing work. :-)

Size. Damage resistance. Use.

Decent build quality with plenty of hammer surface options. Using for guitar building. Do question durability of some head materials and the screw shaft of attachments for long term, but should be good for quite a few jobs. Handle is grippy and comfortable. Overall weight is perfect for my purposes. Considering price, I'm happy with value, quality, comfort and longevity.

Like that it has changeable heads. Not very heavy so to not marr the surface of what is being repaired.

Very shallow cut threads in the hammer body, heads wobble loosely until they seat. Easily stripped on the aluminum and brass heads even at finger tight. I needed the brass head only and ended up JB Welding it in after it the first use. The heads loosen with use, and one wack when loose and the threads strip. If you plan on changing heads often, I'd highly recommend wrapping the threads with tape a few turns to create a better fit that won't back out but can still be unscrewed. Chinese quality machining.
