What is a "mallet"?
A mallet is a tool used to strike objects without damaging them. It has a large, typically wooden or rubber head, and a handle. Unlike a hammer, which has a harder, metal head, a mallet's softer head helps to avoid scratching or denting the surface of the material being struck. Mallets are often used in woodworking, for pushing chisels, and in other tasks where gentle but firm force is needed.
