Brass Mallet: The Perfect Tool for Power and Precision

When it comes to modular hand-drive tools, fastening professionals consistently prefer non-marring brass mallets over steel hammers—and for good reason. Brass mallets strike the perfect balance between power and precision, protecting the tool and the workpiecebrass mallet while delivering maximum effectiveness.

Unlike hardened steel hammers, the soft and malleable brass head avoids chipping or causing unnecessary damage to the modular hand drive, the fastener, or the surface of the object being worked on. The dual-barrel cast brass head, featuring a ⅞” striking surface, enhances balance and ensures consistent accuracy with every strike.

A standout feature of this mallet is its 2 lb. head, which absorbs shock and minimizes bounce-back, significantly boosting operator efficiency compared to steel alternatives. Paired with a splinter-resistant, industrial-grade tapered hickory handle, this mallet offers durability, comfort, and control in every application.

This mallet is recommended for use with Stimpson’s full range of grommet & washer modular hand drive sets—including sheet metal, brass, E-Series, and Marine Grade options—and is an indispensable tool when maximum striking power is required.
