- A rubber maul head (often referred to as a pavers maul head) is a heavy-duty, cylindrical striking tool made from high-grade rubber designed to deliver powerful yet non-marring blows.
- Unlike smaller standard mallets, mauls are typically used for large-scale construction tasks where significant force is needed without chipping or cracking brittle materials.
- Key Features and Specifications
- Material: Usually high-grade black or white rubber; white options are preferred for non-marking applications where surface stains must be avoided.
- Shape: Distinctly cylindrical or barrel-shaped, providing a large striking surface that reduces the need for perfect alignment.
- Size and Weight: Replacement heads typically range from 300mm to 330mm in length with a diameter of about 125mm to 130mm. They can weigh up to 6kg (approx. 13lbs).
- Primary Applications
- Paving and Landscaping: Ideal for laying and levelling paving slabs, kerbing, and flagstones.
- Civil Engineering: Used by groundworkers for setting concrete kerbs and bricks into place.
- Construction: Helpful for driving large stakes or piles into the ground without splintering them.
