Rob Cosman's Mallet - Small

It's a wonderful tool for my woodworking projects! I am using it almost every day.

Small mallet review

I make small boxes, birdhouses, etc. This mallet is perfect for the light taps I make on chisel adjustments. And the handle is wonderful. Thx

Nice, but outside weight parameters.

The small mallet is nicely made, but outside the weight parameters given on the website. It is 7.7oz. Or, 218g. If it were going to be wrong, I’d have rather had it heavier. Now that the regular, heavier mallet is back in stock, I’d planned to get that… but now, I’m not sure if quality control is off by over an ounce - these are an investment and I don’t want to play the return game and wait another few weeks as I need to use it now. I just want it correct and as advertised when I hand over my money. It’s definitely pretty and the hockey tape provides nice grip, but I need a bit more weight behind my chisels - Even with the small mallet (I would have bought the regular at the time, but it was out of stock). This one should have been in a “seconds sale” option or something. I ordered the brass and rubber mallets, too, and those were as advertised, but this one is a bit of a disappointment. Hopefully, it’s just a one-off.
