Mallet HALDER Soft-Face SIMPLEX 60 — compact rubber-plastic striking head

The HALDER Soft-Face Mallet SIMPLEX 60 is a professional-grade striking tool engineered for precision and surface protection. Featuring a 60 mm diameter head, this mallet combines a durable rubber insert with a high-impact plastic insert, allowing users to switch between different striking characteristics depending on the material being worked. The SIMPLEX design ensures that the force is transmitted effectively while minimizing the risk of marring, scratching, or denting delicate workpieces.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this mallet is its versatile dual-face construction, which provides both a soft, cushioning impact and a firm, controlled strike. The housing is designed for maximum durability, ensuring that the tool maintains its integrity even under heavy professional use. Because the individual components are replaceable, the mallet offers an extended service life, making it a cost-effective investment for any workshop. The ergonomic handle provides a secure grip, reducing user fatigue during repetitive tasks and improving overall control during impact.

Suitable for

• General assembly and furniture construction
• Light metalworking and sheet metal forming
• Automotive maintenance and repair
• Setting tiles or flooring
• Positioning components in machine assembly

This tool may not be suitable for heavy-duty demolition work or tasks requiring high-force metal-on-metal impacts, as the soft-face inserts are designed to protect surfaces rather than break through hardened materials. It is also not intended for use in environments where extreme heat could compromise the integrity of the rubber or plastic components.

Key specifications

• Head diameter: 60 mm
• Insert material: Rubber and superplastic
• Housing material: Cast iron
• Replaceable components: Yes

To use the mallet, ensure that the appropriate face is oriented toward the workpiece. For delicate surfaces, utilize the rubber side to absorb shock and prevent damage. For tasks requiring more force without marring, use the plastic side. Always maintain a firm grip on the handle and strike the surface squarely to ensure even force distribution and to prolong the life of the inserts.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 60 mm head size is appropriate for your specific application requirements.
• Consider the nature of the materials you work with to ensure the rubber-plastic combination meets your needs.
• Check if you require spare inserts for long-term maintenance.

For optimal performance and safety, inspect the striking faces regularly for signs of excessive wear or debris. Replace the inserts immediately if they show cracks or deep indentations to maintain the protective qualities of the tool.
