Product Information
Full details
The Halder Simplex Mallet Plusbox is designed for trade professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a versatile, high-durability striking tool for varied assembly and construction tasks. The primary benefit of this kit is its modular head system, allowing users to switch between inserts to match specific hardness requirements, though the D60 size can feel substantial for those working in extremely tight, delicate quarters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To swap inserts, unscrew the housing bolts and remove the existing heads. Ensure the new inserts are properly aligned with the housing recesses before tightening the bolts securely. The malleable cast iron housing is weather-resistant, but the wooden handle should be kept dry and stored in a clean environment to preserve the lacquer finish. Periodically check that the handle-to-head connection is tight. Clean the inserts with a damp cloth if they accumulate debris to maintain their grip and surface integrity.
