Tools and Hardware Reviews of Robert Larson 615-1220 Large Carpenters Mallet
Customer Review: Not Square,
Summary: 3 Stars
Solid, but nothing special. For the price, I'm not returning it, but the bottom of the head of the mallet is not square with the top or the striking faces, i.e., cut at a very pronounced angle (right to left, not front to back). Additionally, the bevels cut at the edges are uneven, and do not match. However, the handle fits into the head straight, and the striking faces are square, so I consider these deficiencies to be cosmetic, and they will not affect the tool's performance. The grain in the handle is perpendicular, rather than parallel to the direction of the head. I would not use this handle in an ax or hatchet, but it should be ok on the mallet. Overall, as others have said, it is what it is, an unfinished mallet that will work fine. I am currently soaking the head in BLO, and we'll see how it looks later once I'm done "tweaking" it. It should be fine. That said, if I had found a similar mallet locally at near the same price, or a little more, I think I would have purchased locally. If I had several to choose from, I would have selected a better example than what was shipped to me.
For the first time, Amazon disappointed me in their packaging. They shipped promptly, and I received the items quickly, but the mallet and a honing stone were shipped loose with a pair of shop glasses. There was only minimal packing material, and I consider it sheer luck that the stone and the glasses were not damaged or broken.
