OX Combination Rubber Mallet
Score: 70/100Rankings

The Stanley 57-531 is an 18 oz non-sparking soft face hammer designed for safety-critical applications where sparking and surface damage must be avoided. It features Uni-Cast™ construction made from non-ferrous materials and incorporates a dead blow design using steel shot to eliminate rebound when striking hardened surfaces. It is ideal for equipment maintenance workers requiring surface protection and those performing breaking and chiseling operations on hardened materials without damaging surrounding equipment.

OX Tools manufactures combination rubber mallets designed for tradespeople, featuring a dual-faced head with a standard black face for general work and a semi-hard white face that protects delicate surfaces. The mallets are constructed with a durable rubber head and a lightweight fiberglass handle for comfortable use. It is best suited for tradespeople who require a non-marking tool for general work, specifically for tasks requiring both general impact and precision work on delicate surfaces.
