Garland Manufacturing 15001 Plastic Mallet 4 Oz

Product Description

The GARLAND MANUFACTURING 15001 is a 4 oz plastic mallet constructed from Gar-Dur ultra-high-molecular-weight (UHMW) plastic. This nonporous material resists marring on contact surfaces and wipes clean easily between uses. The Size 1 designation indicates the head profile and overall scale of the tool. Plastic mallets in this class are used wherever a steel hammer would damage a workpiece or fitting — common in plumbing rough-in, HVAC sheet metal assembly, electrical enclosure work, and general trade fabrication. Weighing in at 4 oz, it is a lightweight, single-hand tool suited for precision strikes in tight spaces.

This mallet is appropriate for light-duty assembly and disassembly tasks across residential and light commercial trade work. Typical applications include seating compression fittings, tapping PVC or ABS pipe connections, aligning sheet metal flanges, and driving gaskets or seals into position without surface damage. The UHMW plastic construction makes it a practical choice any time a non-marring strike is needed on finished surfaces, soft metals, or plastic components.

Key Features

• Constructed from Gar-Dur UHMW plastic for non-marring strikes
• Nonporous material resists contamination and cleans easily
• 4 oz head weight for lightweight, controlled impact
• Size 1 profile suited for tight-space and precision work
• Appropriate for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general trade assembly tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose non-marring mallet for trade and light industrial assembly applications where surface protection is required.

Installation Notes

No power source or shutoff is required for hand tool use. Always select the appropriate mallet weight and head material for the workpiece to avoid cracking plastic fittings or deforming soft metal components. Inspect the mallet head before each use for cracks or chips that could compromise strike accuracy or contaminate a work surface.
