The right choice of soft-face mallet: SIMPLEX, BLACKCRAFT or SUPERCRAFT? An overview for automotive mechatronics technicians
An overview for automotive mechatronics technicians
All automotive mechatronics technicians know: Every move has to be exactly right and the right tool can make all the difference. Soft-face mallets are the best helpers you can pick – especially when precision is of the essence and you need to be gentle on the material. But, which hammer is the best choice for you? Halder offers three models – the SIMPLEX, the BLACKCRAFT, and the SUPERCRAFT soft-face mallet, each boasting its own distinctive advantages.
The SIMPLEX soft-face mallet: Versatile and long-lasting
Are you looking for a hammer that you can adapt to your specific needs? Then look no further than the SIMPLEX soft-face mallet. It comes with two inserts of different hardness that you can exchange depending on the requirements of the job at hand. You can select from more than nine inserts, three housing types and two handle versions – the right hammer for every application. And, best of all: Since all parts are interchangeable, the hammer is exceptionally long-lasting and durable.
Usage tip:
The SIMPLEX is ideal for jobs that require you to work with different materials, e.g. fitting and removing sensitive parts. You can change its configuration so that you can either strike with great force or work with gentle precision – depending on what the job requires.
Automotive/truck recommendation: SIMPLEX soft-face mallet Ø 40 with the copper/soft metal combination and with reinforced cast iron housing and fibre-glass handle
The BLACKCRAFT soft-face mallet: Non-rebound and precise
When space is tight, but you still require plenty of impact force, you will find the right solution in the BLACKCRAFT soft-face mallet. Its non-rebound design paired with the steel shot in the head lets you strike with more than enough power, without straining your joints or the material. Better yet, the BLACKCRAFT is PUR-encased all around, adding extra protection for your material
Usage tip:
Ideal for changing tires or working on wheel suspensions or engines in cramped spaces. The BLACKCRAFT makes certain that you will manage to loosen even the most firmly tightened components without great force expenditure – and without any rebound.
The SUPERCRAFT soft-face mallet: Maximum force, minimum effort
Just as its BLACKCRAFT brother, the SUPERCRAFT is a non-rebound tool and filled with steel shot in the head, which makes it exceptionally powerful. This power is ideal for such heavy-duty jobs as releasing stuck components. Specifically designed for continuous use in metalworking, its extremely robust nylon inserts hold up to even the most powerful strikes – without ever splintering.
Usage tip:
The SUPERCRAFT is the perfect choice for such tasks as replacing the drive shaft, removing brake discs or inserting wheel bearings. Its non-rebound capabilities allow you to work with great efficiency and without putting any strain on your joints or the material.
Which hammer is your best fit?
The answer hinges on your area of application:
- SIMPLEX soft-face mallet: Exceptionally versatile and long-lasting, ideal for work with different materials and jobs requiring frequent adjustments.
- BLACKCRAFT soft-face mallet: Added protection thanks to PUR coating and extra power through the non-rebound SUPERCRAFT principle.
- SUPERCRAFT soft-face mallet: High power during heavy-duty work without overexerting the material or your joints.
Conclusion: Always the right tool for your everyday jobs
Whether you are working on delicate parts or need to release resilient components – Halder has the matching soft-face mallet for you. The BLACKCRAFT and SUPERCRAFT render you the strong support you need to master challenging jobs. The strong points of the SIMPLEX, on the other hand, are its versatility and sustainability, as you can adapt it as many times as you need.
