How often do you use a rubber mallet? Probably not very often and that's why you shouldn't pay much for one. Harbor Freight provides the opportunity to pick-up this infrequently used tool for a buck or two, and there are times that it's really needed. For example, when hammering tiles into the thinset to level them (yes, you hammer on a wooden block, but the rubber mallet is still good to soften those blows); more often when you want to avoid marring the item being hammered (e.g., hammering into place some of those ill-fitted Chinese parts, adjusting that stuck mirror on your MoHo). Once you buy it, just remember you have it (and where you put it), and you'll find plenty of times when you want to minimize the surface blemishes from hammering.

If you're delivering a lot of rubber blows, you might want to invest in a somewhat better quality tool such as Harbor Freight's Fiberglas handled model (95083, sale price $3.99). But for the occasional user who is saving their money for other great deals from Harbor Freight, this is the model to buy.

Bottom line: A steal deal from Harbor Freight, get this rubber mallet for the time you DO need it. Remember you have it and you'll find plenty of times you 'need' it.
