Thor TH23-8116PH Super Plastic Mallet, 325 g, 50 mm Head, Plastic Handle

The Thor TH23-8116PH is a super plastic mallet weighing 325 g, with a 50 mm (2 in) diameter head 115 mm (4-1/2 in) long, on a plastic handle. Thor says the head is made from ultra-high molecular weight polythene, which gives high impact, durability and high abrasion resistance (manufacturer-stated).

Thor says the head is resistant to corrosion and most chemicals and will not fracture, splinter or delaminate. It also says the plastic handle is fitted to meet food hygiene regulations, and that the mallet is designed for the food industry and so supplied without grip and labels (manufacturer-stated). The figures come from the Thor website.
