New handle for SIMPLEX soft-face mallet
Length perfectly tailored to paving jobs – ideal for gardening and landscaping
Paving patios, walkways and similar jobs are tough work and very taxing on the body. Erwin Halder AG specialises in the continuous development of hammers that ease - to the greatest possible degree - the strain their strenuous work exerts on gardening and landscaping workers. The most recent of these advancements is the SIMPLEX soft-face mallet with extra short handle. This handle no longer hits the ground when the worker taps the stones in place.
“We maintain a constant exchange with craftsmen from different trades in a bid to adapt our soft-face mallets even better to all individual requirements and develop solutions that make a real difference in practice. We have found that users often saw off a piece of the handle of our SIMPLEX soft-face mallets with an 80 mm diameter in order to shorten it. This drove us to respond to a request uttered by numerous gardening and landscaping workers and add this SIMPLEX soft-face mallet with extra short handle to our product range”, explains Volker Gernth, Sales Director Hand Tools at Erwin Halder KG.
Halder has chosen a length that is perfect for paving work – not too long and not too short. Since the extra short handle is only 230 mm long, the entire hammer measures merely 325 mm in length. As it is based on the SIMPLEX principle, the handle can be exchanged effortlessly on existing hammers. No need to shorten the handle yourself any more.
Headstand even with an 80 mm diameter
Volker Gernth: “Besides the short handle, we have also developed our rubber insert with “stand-up” as a tool to make the worker’s life easier. Its smartly designed shape allows it to stand on its head. The user can simply grab the wooden handle sticking up from the ground and has thus less need for bending down and putting strain on their backs. Now also available with a diameter of 80 mm, it can be paired effortlessly with the extra short handle as well.”
Crafted from the Halder’s tried-and-tested rubber composite, the insert with “stand-up” is a particularly good choice for gardening and landscaping, paving, curbstone setting, masonry and stairs setting, fence, scaffolding, tent and prefabricated-house construction, carpenter's work as well as maintenance and repairs. Medium hard and odourless, the insert possesses low-wear and impact-cushioning characteristics.
The “softies” in additional sizes
The SIMPLEX inserts made of thermoplastic elastomer – TPE-soft and TPE-mid – are now available in an 80 mm diameter version as well. Its hardness of approximately 65 Shore A makes the TPE-soft the softest insert in the SIMPLEX line. Its substantial cushioning allows users to also perform delicate work on highly sensitive materials – perfect for gardening and landscaping, for floor tiling, for setting natural stones, and for use in furniture assembly, drywall construction, and window and door construction.
Boasting a hardness of roughly 90 Shore A, the medium hard insert TPE-mid is a good choice for delicate materials such as those found in natural stone setting, gardening and landscaping, drywall construction and furniture assembly, floor tiling, paving, masonry and stairs setting, joiner's work, and window and door construction.
"By the way: Unlike conventional rubber mallets, neither of the two TPE inserts – soft and mild – leave behind any undesired black marring on the materials. This saves you the trouble of any pesky and time-consuming cleaning”, adds Volker Gernth.
The new handle of the SIMPLEX soft-face mallet was given a length of 230 mm, which is an ideal length for paving. This saves users the need to shorten the handle themselves.
Always the perfect companion for gardening and landscaping: The SIMPLEX soft-face mallet with short handle makes the worker's life easier in a host of applications.
