Garland 11009 Weighted Rawhide Hammer 1 Lb Hickory Handle

Product Description

The GARLAND 11009 is a 1-pound weighted rawhide hammer designed for striking tasks that require controlled force without damaging work surfaces. The striking face is constructed from hard water buffalo rawhide, delivering broad-faced impact with durability suited to repeated use in trade and shop environments. The handle is turned hickory, a dense hardwood known for its shock absorption and grip under heavy use. At 12 inches in overall length, the tool balances reach with control for precise mallet work on metal, wood, and assembled components.

This hammer is used across multiple trades and shop applications where a steel-faced hammer would mar, deform, or crack the workpiece. Typical applications include driving wooden handles onto tool heads, seating bearing caps, aligning sheet metal, assembling cabinetry and millwork, and general assembly tasks on finished or semi-finished surfaces. The broad rawhide face distributes force across a wider contact area, reducing the risk of localized surface damage. It is a standard tool in HVAC sheet metal shops, plumbing assembly work, and general maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Hard water buffalo rawhide striking face resists compression and wear over extended use
• Broad 1-3/4 inch face diameter distributes impact force to reduce surface damage
• 1-pound head weight provides firm, controlled striking without excessive rebound
• 12-inch hickory handle offers shock absorption and secure grip
• Weighted construction improves striking consistency compared to standard dead-blow mallets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose weighted rawhide mallet suitable for assembly, alignment, and seating tasks across trade and shop applications where marring of work surfaces must be avoided.

Installation Notes

No power source or lockout procedure is required for hand tool use. Inspect the rawhide face and hickory handle for cracks or looseness before each use and replace the tool if the head is loose or the handle is compromised. Do not use this hammer to strike hardened steel surfaces, chisels, or punches, as rawhide faces are not rated for metal-on-metal impact. Store away from prolonged moisture exposure to preserve handle integrity and rawhide condition.
