• Protects Tools: Unlike metal hammers, which can ruin tools (making them "mushroom" or bend), a dense hardwood like hickory absorbs the shock of the hit, sparing the life of your chisels, stamps, and punches.
• Ideal Density and Weight: Hickory is incredibly dense and durable, providing enough weight to drive tools through thick leather with a solid hit, while still offering a "gentle" feel.
• Excellent Shock Absorption: Hickory is a traditional wood for handles and heads because it absorbs vibration well, reducing strain on the wrist during long, repetitive work sessions.
• Balance and Control: Many leather mallets are round, which allows for better balance, ensuring that the tool turns in your hand without causing deflection during strikes.
