HalderSimplex Soft-Faced Mallet, Hard Plastic Insert, Medium-Hard Rubber Insert, Cast Iron Housing with Handle Protection Sleeve, Varnished Wooden Handle, 40mm, .1.4 lbs.

I got the Sinplex 60, it is fairly heavy. I got it to pound on brick pavers as I reset them. The black head is just right- very firm but gives enough to not damage the pavers. I am reordering the black firm heads with small extensions so the hammer will stand head-end down.. it is easy enough to undo a heavy socket-head bolt and open the cast-iron head and change hammer faces (there are 8-9 types). A point- not all the inside of the iron head is enameled. The bare areas rust easily, so you cannot just hose down the hammer if it has gotten dirty and not have rust inside the iron head. But this whole system is classic, versatile, and very interchangeable.After extensive use. Great tool for pounding pavers! I have ordered the very short handle (labeled 15”, of which about 1-1/2 will be in the iron head, and I’ll put a grip on it. Most-used tool for resetting pavers.Thinking of naming it, though it doesn’t come back when thrown.

durable tool and functions as described by seller - will recommend this line of tools

The weight on this mallet is perfect. I got the black rubber and the red plastic inserts. I use it for a lot of different things, most recently the rubber side for putting down a new patio. Works well, and the rubber didn't chip or disfigure.

The functionality of the hammer is fantastic. Changing the faces is a breeze and the two included faces covers most jobs. However, the handle's finish isn't what I would expect from a company like Halder. There are some grainy bits that ridge up from the handle's clear coat. The hilt of the hammer has a clear coat bump like it wasn't dried properly or over dipped. *Will include photo later*I might exchange it, but I did happen to purchase at a great sale price. Maybe the little inconsistencies are why it was on sale.

This model has a very nice heft to it. The two faces are great for trim carpentry applications or anywhere you don’t want to damage things you need to pound on. I have not yet needed to replace the faces or the handle but it looks like it would be easy.

Intend to use for medium-duty adjustments - more for garage work than fine cabinet making. Nice that the heads can be easily replaced or swapped-out with other 40mm soft heads offered by the manufacturer. Impressed with the quality.

Awesome tool.

I bought this hammer to do a bunch of flooring jobs, and I like it better than my previous hammer made by Vaughan. I also like the burgundy color and feel of the handle, it is comfortable to use for long periods of time and well balanced.

Sehr gutes Produkt.

Bought it for my son who is a carpenter and he loves it!

Great product works surprisingly well on rough metal work and with a good general weight to it when swinging

Just as described, fast shipping and good price

Qualità ottima, la mazzetta risulta ben assemblata e rifinita, i materiali con cui è costruita sono molto buoni e anche nell’utilizzo nessun problema, risulta ben bilanciata. La possibilità di sostituire in maniera facile le parti battenti con diversi materiali è sicuramente un aspetto da non sottovalutare .
