This Rubber Mallet by Stanley has quickly become one of my favorite tools. (I paid around $5 for it as an "Add-On" item.) It's a good weight, not too heavy nor light. The wooden handle is solid and has a smooth finish that prevents splinters. The rubber head and the handle seem to be well attached, so I predict it will last for many years. Thanks to the absence of tacky logos, it has a simple, classy appearance. The sticker that comes attached to the handle wasn't the easiest to get off, but that's the only fault I have found.
I've used this to assemble my Elfa storage system components in my garage, which requires hammering metal pieces into each other and lots of drywall anchors. I also prefer to use it over a hammer while inserting nails for hanging canvases on the walls. It has worked great for enlarging piolet holes and stabilizing toggle bolts into drywall prior to using the drill.
This mallet provides a good level of torque with minimal effort. The design distributes the force evenly and the rubber head prevents damage that would be caused by a traditional hammer. After several weeks of heavy use (as in being the only mallet used to install the entire garage storage system), the rubber head has remained dent-free and the peice still looks brand new.
