Product Information
Full details
The Power-TEC Bodywork 'Bumping' Mallet (92593) is designed for automotive professionals and DIYers working on vehicle exteriors and interiors. Its primary benefit is to provide a non-damaging method for fitting and adjusting body parts, trim, and weatherstripping, preventing scratches and marks. A key consideration is that while the head is designed for impact, excessive force or improper use can still potentially damage delicate surfaces. This mallet features a specially formulated elastic rubber head that remains hard during use, a large flat contact area for shock distribution, and a comfortable soft-grip handle, making it ideal for tasks such as installing door seals or seating upholstery.

FAQs
What is the primary use of this mallet?
This mallet is primarily used in automotive bodyshops for fitting and adjusting weatherstrips, bumpers, trim, and upholstery without causing damage or scratches.
Can this mallet be used on painted surfaces?
Yes, it is designed to be used on painted surfaces, including car bodywork, due to its non-marring rubber head. However, always use controlled force and ensure both the surface and head are clean.
What are the dimensions and weight of the mallet?
The mallet has a length of 260mm and weighs 654g.
Is a spare head included with the mallet?
No, a spare head is not included but is available separately under Power-TEC Part No. 91053.
How should I clean the rubber head?
Wipe the rubber head with a damp cloth after each use to remove debris. Avoid using harsh solvents.
Can this mallet be used for general carpentry or home repairs?
While it provides a softer impact than a standard hammer, its design is specialized for automotive bodywork. For general carpentry, a woodworking mallet would be more appropriate.
What makes the rubber head 'hard in use'?
The head is made from a special elastic rubber filler that behaves like a hard material when struck, providing firm impact without deforming or damaging surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Mallet head feels too soft or ineffective.
The head is designed to remain hard in use due to its special filler. If it feels excessively soft, it may indicate wear or damage. Consider replacing the head with a new one (Part No. 91053).
Slight marking on a delicate surface.
While designed to be non-marring, always test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure the surface and the mallet head are free of grit or debris. Use gentle, controlled taps rather than forceful blows.
Handle feels loose.
Check the connection between the head and the handle. If the head is designed to be replaceable, ensure it is securely fastened. For permanent heads, if looseness persists, the tool may need replacement.

The soft-grip handle can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
