<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A &#039;&#039;&#039;mallet&#039;&#039;&#039; is a piece of [[wood]] affixed to a short pole. The type of head can vary from a slightly rectangular prism (sometime with a slight parallelogram shape) mounted tranversely to a simple cylinder mounted tranversely or a cylinder (or near cylinder) with the handle mounted in the end. The last of these types is sometime termed a club is made of one piece of [[wood]]. They form a simialr function to a [[hammer]].<br /> <br /> They typically have shorter [[handle]]s than a [[maul]] and are used for more delicate work, especially when used with [[chisel]]s in [[woodworking]].<br /> <br /> They are often made of a knotty piece of [[wood]] as they are tough to split. When using [[tool]]s that are designed to be struck use the general rule of like on like. Thus use a [[wood]]en budgeoning [[tool]] on a [[wood]]en [[handle]]d [[chisel]].<br /> <br /> [[category:tool]]</div>
