Product Description

Bora Tools, long known for quality woodworking products, again tips the scales with a high quality hardwood wooden mallet specifically designed for woodworkers. A wooden mallet (sometimes called a carpenters mallet or a woodworkers mallet) is a tool that may seem strange at first, but is essential for many applications, with woodworking being chief amongst them. Woodworking often calls for the use of chisels, with a hammer needed to tap / strike them. Rubber mallets do not offer the hard residence needed, and forget metal, as they are too heavy, and will also damage your tools. This makes a wooden mallet very necessary, and this is one of the finest you can buy. Made of premium kiln-dried European Beechwood, this 4-1/2 inch Wood Mallet comes with an angled face and a smooth, splinter-free grip handle, which is also tapered to keep the head rock solid. This creates unparalleled balance, and the 2”x3” face ensures ample striking force is applied with maximum comfort and control. Ideal for general joinery work and a perfect pairing with your favorite chisels, this wonderful wood mallet is made in England with old world craftsmanship and quality. Oh, it also looks great, and is perfect for crushing ice as well.

So far I can say that the cut lines and smoothing is very well done. I do not regret this purchase. The mallet appears to be sturdy, balanced, functional and well crafted. You will have to finish this mallet yourself with a good tung oil or polyurethane, etc. Honestly, it's better that way so you can apply the finish or stain that you desire. I like natural finish that I can reapply once a year, you may not.

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2019
Verified Purchase
Until you pair this wooden mallet up with a good set of chisels, you don't know how important and helpful it can be to woodworking and cutting notches or mortises. Sure, you can use your steel head hammer, but it hits too hard and can cause a chisel to gouge the work. But this wooden mallet is superb and adds just enough heft and measured impact to allow you to make your cuts and notches more carefully. It essentially teaches you to be more patient and improves your work. Five Stars!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a very nice wooden mallet. Just the right size, just the right weight and it is well made. Basically, it is a stick which makes it seem strange to write a review, but if you don't have this mallet, you're going to search around to find something else to use, which won't work as well, so just buy the mallet and keep it on hand when you need it. I've used mine a dozen times already just in a couple of months.
