Overview
The GreatNeck RM16 is a single piece hammer with a rubber head and a wood handle, sold as one unit. It fits jobs where a rubber mallet is preferred over steel to avoid marring the surface being struck.
Rubber head hammers like the RM16 trade the driving force of a steel hammer for a softer strike, useful for assembly work, tapping wood joints together, or seating parts without denting them. The wood handle is a traditional choice over molded synthetic grips.

Who it's for

Performance notes
The rubber head absorbs impact rather than transferring full force the way steel does, so it suits seating joints and tapping parts into place rather than nail driving or demolition work.
