Halder USA - Supercraft Dead Blow Hammer Replacement Face (3508.025)

I have this old deadblow mallet that was handed down by my late father. He’d spent his life as a machinist, and though he sold all his equipment before passing, he kept this. As a child, I remember playing around with it in his shop, and watching him smack around his Bridgeport. The only markings on it are K*G30 (the * is actually a squished 6-pointed star) and its vintage metallic grey paint job was all but chipped away. The handle is identical to Halder mallets and the main body of the head is 1.18”.I wanted to put this mallet into my own rotation, but the heads were just too mangled, embedded with metal chips, and barely hanging on. So, I figured I’d give this “3508.030 Supercraft 1.18” head a try.It’s a perfect fit! The head itself feels incredibly solid, but still with a little give. I’ve beaten on it pretty hard already and it doesn’t show a lick of wear. If you look at my pic, you’ll see I only ordered one - that’s for two reasons. 1) they’re 1/3 the cost of just getting a new mallet, so I really couldn’t justify getting 2 and not just replacing the whole thing, and 2) leaving one of the original heads is a nice reminder of my father using this day in and day out. After a little bit of clean up, I happy to have this tool on my workbench.

The plastic replacement head fit my ferroplex hammer even though it didn't explicitly said so.Very happy.

I like it
