Garland 11003 Rawhide Mallet 1/2 Pound Wood Handle

Product Description

The GARLAND 11003 is a rawhide mallet designed for striking applications that require force without damaging the work surface or tooling. Built with a hard water buffalo rawhide head and a wood handle, this mallet delivers controlled impact for trade and shop use. The head weighs 0.5 pounds with a broad face measuring 1.75 inches in diameter, giving the user a wide striking surface. It is well-suited for assembly, fitting, and fabrication tasks where a steel hammer would mar or deform the workpiece. HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general tradespeople keep this type of mallet on hand for everyday installation and service work.

This mallet is used in light to medium striking applications across residential and commercial trade work. Typical uses include seating fittings, driving non-metallic components, aligning ductwork, and working with sheet metal or plastic parts where surface protection matters. The broad rawhide face distributes impact force evenly, reducing the risk of denting or scoring. The wood handle absorbs vibration and provides a firm, comfortable grip during repetitive use.

Installation Notes

Rawhide mallets are a hand tool requiring no power source or special installation. Inspect the head and handle for cracks or looseness before each use. Do not use this mallet for heavy demolition or striking hardened steel, as this can damage the rawhide head. Store away from prolonged moisture exposure to preserve the rawhide and wood handle.
