A steel hammer dents black-coated edging and splits plastic spikes. A rubber mallet drives both home with a firm, dead tap and leaves no mark. If you are fitting any edging on this site, this is the tool.

Driving edging spikes and interlocking sections into the ground without marking them. A steel hammer chips coatings and splits plastic spikes. This does not.
Is it heavy enough for steel edging?
Yes. The 16oz head drives 4 inches steel spikes into prepared soil. Tap, do not whack, and let the weight do the work.
What do I get?
One mallet. Rubber head, wooden handle.
How do I use it?
Hold it near the end of the handle, line up the face over the spike or the top edge of the section, and strike squarely. The rubber face spreads the blow so nothing dents.
Will it mark black or stainless edging?
No. That is the point of the rubber face. It drives the section down without scuffing the coating.
Does it bounce?
Very little. The head is designed to resist bounce so each strike lands where you aim it.
What is it made of?
A rubber head with a 55mm face and 90mm length, on a wooden handle that absorbs shock.
How much does it cost?
$15. Delivery is free once your order is $60 or more. Under $60 it is a flat $22.
Are there other sizes or options?
One mallet is listed. It suits every edging job on this site.
What do the photos show?
The mallet and its size. Edging and garden props are not included.
Which specs should I check before I buy?
Head weight (16oz), face diameter (55mm), head length (90mm) and the wooden handle. If anything is unclear, ask us first.
How many do I need?
One. It will do every edging job on this site and plenty more.
Can I order more than one?
Yes. Set the quantity on this page or change it in your basket.
Will it work for pavers and tiles?
Yes. It is the usual tool for bedding pavers, tapping tiles and laying laminate, because it does not mark the surface.
Any safety tips?
Keep your other hand clear of the strike, wear eye protection if you are driving steel, and check the head is tight on the handle before each job.
What if a spike will not go in?
Stop. It has hit a stone. Move the spike an inch or two rather than hitting harder, or the spike will split.
Can I use it with plastic edging spikes?
Yes. It is the right tool for them. A steel hammer splits the spike heads.
How do I look after it?
Wipe it down and store it dry. Keep the wooden handle out of the rain so it does not swell or crack.
Does the rubber wear?
It will scuff with use, which is normal. The head lasts a long time on garden jobs.
Can I check it will suit my job before I buy?
Yes. Tell us what you are driving in and we will tell you straight.
Is the price in US dollars?
Yes. Product prices and checkout totals are in US dollars.
What does delivery cost?
Delivery is free when the goods total after any discount is $60 or more. Otherwise the delivery charge is $22.
How long does delivery take?
Allow 24-48 hours for handling, then an estimated 5-7 days in transit. These are estimates, not a promised arrival date.

The complete guide
Rubber mallet: the complete guide
2 min readLawn Edge Company USA
Every edging product we sell goes into the ground with a tap. Steel sections on spikes, plastic spikes through flexible edging, stone-effect pieces pushed into soil. A steel hammer does all of that badly. It chips coatings, splits spike heads and bounces. A rubber mallet does it properly.
Specifications
16oz rubber head
55mm face diameter, 90mm head length
Shock-resistant wooden handle, shaped for grip
Non-marring face, resists bounce
How to use it
Hold it near the end of the handle. Line the face up squarely over the spike head or the top edge of the section. Strike firmly and let the weight do the work. A square, moderate tap drives further than a wild swing, and it does not split the spike.
If a spike stops going in, it has hit a stone. Move it an inch or two rather than hitting harder.
What it is for
Driving the spikes on black steel, corten and stainless edging without marking them. Tapping plastic spikes through flexible edging without splitting the heads. Seating barrier fence panels. Bedding pavers, tapping tiles, laying laminate, tent pegs.
Looking after it
Wipe it down and store it dry. Keep the wooden handle out of the rain so it does not swell or crack, and check the head is tight on the handle before each job. The rubber face will scuff with use. That is normal.
