Sorbothane® SOFT-BLOW MALLET Receives Recognition
Having the right tools can make all the difference between a job well done and a job filled with complications. Among the countless tools available, one stands out for its innovative design and unparalleled performance: the Sorbothane® SOFT-BLOW MALLET. Featured in publications such as Professional Distributor magazine and Auto Body Repair Network (ABRN) magazine and reviewed in Professional Tool & Equipment News (PTEN), this mallet has captured the attention and acclaim of industry professionals.
SOFT-BLOW MALLET Enhances Durability, Reduces Risk for Automotive Technicians
In a recent review published by PTEN, Brian Culotta, master technician and shop foreman at Dave’s Auto Care in Willoughby, Ohio, praised the Sorbothane® SOFT-BLOW MALLET, awarding it an impressive 9 out of 10 rating for automotive work. Culotta highlighted the mallet’s versatility and efficiency, stating, “Often when using a more popular [auto hammer] or even a plastic dead-blow hammer, automotive technicians may resort to adding something ‘soft’ in between the item and the hammer itself to be struck, such as a piece of scrap wood or cloth, etc. These are not only ‘clumsy’ and potentially unsafe but also require additional time to find such items. With these hammers, I can simply grab the tool and swing without risk of damage or injury.”
Culotta emphasized specific scenarios where the Sorbothane® SOFT-BLOW MALLET truly shines. “During removal of delicate components on a vehicle such as a valve cover or oil pan,” he explained, “this hammer is soft enough to not mar or damage the item it is striking while having enough weight to it to dislodge a stuck component.” Furthermore, Culotta highlighted the mallet’s efficacy in installing metal hub caps onto wheels, noting, “I can’t think of a better hammer to use for installing metal hub caps onto wheels. This product ensures you aren’t going to dent or bend an expensive classic car wheel cover/hubcap/beauty ring.”
