Easy to use. The handle is nice and smooth. It’s larger than I expected.

Being new to leather crafting I ordered the mallet (maul) because of the reviews and the price. After trying it out I really think it is quite, well balanced, and easy on the hands. It has a tapered shape which works great for solid strikes and less glancing off of tool and the wooden handle is smooth and comfortable in your hand. Description of mallet (maul) is for working with wood handle chisels, but after using it for leather stamping and with leather stitching chisels there is not even a hint of marring on the tapered head. With the different weight options, this might be something to consider. A made in USA product!!!

I bought this maul for use doing leather crafting. After using it for a few weeks, I have to say I am very pleased. The tool does a fine job on the various metal tools I regularly use. There is just enough weight in the tool to make tooling jobs easier and the material on the head of the maul has held up without any damage. The overall construction seems well done and the handle is incredibly smooth. Very pleased, especially for the price since premium mauls for leather craft can easily be twice the price of this tool.

A few reviewers mentioned it, but for me the biggest selling point is how quiet this thing is! I've tested all the weights and found the 18oz is perfect for General bench chisel work.You can't tell from photos on here, but 12 and 18oz are the same size, then 20 and 30oz have a thicker urethane band around the head making them bigger and heavier. The weight difference between the 12/18 or the 20/30 comes from added metal weight plugs in the core of the head. For me the added weight in the 18oz made it feel harder hitting than the 20oz, with the center of gravity exactly in the center of the head where it impacts a chisel.Again this thing is American made, very high quality, and functions beautifully, but for me the biggest selling point is just how quiet it is. I had plenty of mallets, but this one let's me do my finest work during my kids naptime.

Well, as it turns out there are lots of very different types, sizes, and materials. If I could just have them all lined up on a bench and get to try each out for a minute or two, choosing what works best for me would have been easy. But without hands-on experience, it’s guesswork. For generations skilled woodworkers have commonly used a big beech mallet with a sort of trapezoidal head that supposedly assures striking the end of your chisel squarely. So I got one of those Fred Flintstone-looking mallets and it’s ok, but I don’t love it, and when I got some nice mortise chisels with wooden handles I didn’t want to beat them up with a wooden mallet, so I tried this one.Some reviewers here have put forth theories about which combination of chisel handle and mallet shapes are compatible, and I was somewhat concerned that this section-of-a-cone mallet head might not feel like it is making square contact with my rounded chisel handles. For me, at least, that turns out to be a non-issue. Maybe it’s a Zen thing, but I have concluded that conceptualizing the force of the mallet being conveyed accurately down the length of the chisel iron seems to work, regardless of the mallet shape. In any case, this mallet is great.As others have reported, the Wood Is Good handle looks and feels good and the polyurethane head conveys plenty of energy to the work piece. I doubt this material can be damaged in normal use, and the manufacturer says they’ll replace it if it ever breaks.Just one surprise: this thing is heavier than I expected. Turns out there’s lead at its center, and if you need to really wallop something, this will do it. I’m a big guy with large hands, but at first I thought it was maybe heavier than I wanted for finer work, like chopping dovetails. But if you choke up on the handle and wrap your hand around the base of the mallet’s head it becomes more of a delicate precision tool. Slide your hand out to the end of the handle (it’s comfortable both ways) and it’s got plenty of power for chopping large mortises.I’ve still got my Flintstone mallet hanging on the wall, where it looks impressively Traditional, but this one seems to do it all for me.

It looks so simple in the picture. Hard to tell if it's well-made. Plain-looking, white wood handle. Plastic top. That's it ... Yet glowing reviews. Frustrating.I looked at this mallet for a couple of months before buying it. I was considering several alternatives, all of which cost between $20 - $100 more than the Wood Is Good Mallet. Yet because I couldn't really discern the quality of the Wood Is Good Mallet, $35 seemed expensive. When I started looking for information outside of Amazon, I found the same glowing comments, so I broke and bought it.It's an EXCELLENT mallet! The handle is hard maple and it is finished *exactly* as its product literature states - to a silky smooth finish. The handle is also very well-shaped. I like to be able to choke up on the handle near the head, and it's very comfortable to hold doing so. The urethane density is perfect. Very firm, but with the slightest give. A tap on granite gives the barest bounce. All of which means maximum striking efficiency with no damage to your tools.The 18 is weighted with lead in the head (under a sealed maple plug). The mallet is a bit top heavy, in a good way. It performs like a somewhat heavier mallet as a result, but without the overall weight.Highly recommended. Including over more expensive mallets.
