The tubular head of the SUPERCRAFT soft-face mallets is filled with steel shot. The resulting effect is that the energy of the steel shot is transferred with a slight delay when the mallet's contact surface hits the workpiece. The reduced rebound allows the impact energy to be absorbed with perfect efficiency. The result is impact of exceptional magnitude. What is more. SUPERCRAFT soft-face mallets allow for work with greatly improved safety. reduced strain on the joints and greater noise-dampening when compared to ordinary steel mallets. The inserts offer outstanding impact qualities and are guaranteed to combine maximum strength with unique durability. They consist of extruded and extremely homogeneous material. Compared to injection moulded plastic inserts. they are therefore considerably more wear-resistant and durable and will never chip even in sub-zero temperatures. The ergonomically shaped. varnished and ultra stable hickory handle has a vibration-dampening effect. The handle protection sleeve acts as an overstrike protector. A secure handle-head connection is ensured by an aluminium wedge and a safety pin. All weld seams are completely robot-welded. Extremely tight and of premium quality. a welded connection between impact plate and hammer head keeps the steel shot filling from escaping even under maximum load. The wear-resistant power coating prevents corrosion. Handle and inserts are replaceable.
