Hammers and Mallets

Hammers and mallets are much more accurate and subtle tools than they are often given credit for. A series of well measured taps with the appropriate hammer or mallet can be far more precise than trying to stop pushing when you reach the mark.

Whether you are persuading an edge tool, setting a plane iron or driving home a joint for the perfect fit, the ability to deliver an exact measure of force in just the right spot is a very useful thing indeed.
