Dead Blow Mallet

Key Features

  • Face absorbs a portion of blow energy

Only 2.2 lbs. Head cavity partially filled with steel shot for greater striking force. Increases productivity, reduces installer fatigue.
Head cavity partially filled with steel shot for greater striking force. Face absorbs a portion of blow energy, reducing rebound. 100% premium hickory handle. U.S. Patent No. 11,759,941.
Heritage

We turn our own handles.

Every Pro-Drive Fasteners® mallet handle is turned from 100% hickory wood stock on a 100-year-old lathe. It's the kind of detail most manufacturers skip and most contractors feel the first time they swing one.

When you control the material from the raw stock up, you control the quality all the way down.

100% Hickory
Pro-Drive Fasteners®'s in-house handle-turning shop — lathes and hickory handle blanks surrounded by wood shavings, where every mallet handle is turned

Polyurethane Strike Face Tips User Guide

Choose the right durometer for your material. Softer faces protect delicate assemblies; harder faces transfer maximum energy for dense hardwoods.
