Great Mallet November 18, 2009
Amazon shopper (Saratoga, CA)
I have put this thing through a great deal of abuse and it has not shown any signs of failing. It delivers very controlled application of "gentle" but massive force in an almost fool proof manner.
The rubber holds up very well, doesn't mark. The weight of the tool is about right. I can't think of any flaw that I would assign to it.
A better rubber mallet May 10, 2009
Cousin Vinny (Scottsdale, AZ United States)
Rubber mallets and non-marring hammers with hard and soft plastic heads are nothing new. Most tradespeople and "honey-doers" have at least one of them. There's even a place for rawhide and wooden mallets, depending upon one's individual craft, hobby or discipline.
But if you could only afford to buy one and use it for a multitude of purposes, then you should consider this mallet from Vaughan.
If you assemble or repair furniture, install laminate flooring or install custom built-in shelving, this double-faced mallet is very handy to have around. It has reasonable heft, a long handle, two different faces depending upon the work, good balance and the compact dense rubber heads allow more concentrated force behind each blow with less bounce.
Typically, black is used wherever minor rubber marks are not an issue but greater "ooomph" is required behind the blow. Installing laminate flooring where repeated blows against a sacrificial piece of wood or a metal installation claw is one good example. Conversely, the white head is great for painted surfaces, plastics and finished wood in that it doesn't mar the finish when it's used to gently "coax" a close-tolerance fit between two surfaces with lighter taps.
Vaughan hammers and mallets are well-made and among the best you can buy and the low price on this one makes buying it even more attractive.
Nicely built, does the job April 13, 2009
Douglas A. Wade (San Leandro, CA USA)
OK, nobody's going to get super excited by a rubber mallet. But this one's well built, and it works fine, and it's the kind of thing where you think you've gotten along for years without one, do you really need one? And then you get one and you use it ten times more often than you thought. There's just a lot of situations where you might need a little more force than you can provide by hand but a hammer's going to mar the surface. Yes, you can play around with padding and hope for the best, or you can just grab your mallet and be done with it.
Just as an example, this one paid for itself ten times over when I had to dissemble a bed in a hurry so movers could move it - as they waited on the clock - because nobody thought to check if it actually came apart after 15 years of use. Oops. Even the big huge movers couldn't budge the components by hand, but a few taps with the mallet and the job was done with no damage.
