Mallet

A mallet may look simple and small tool. But when it's in a dentist's hands, it is more than a tool. It becomes an extension of skill and control.

At Fortec, mallets made with stainless steel are of high quality. They can last through thousands of cleaning cycles. They can go through the sterilization process again and again. No rust, no bend, and never let you down.

When you work hard to give your patients the best care. You deserve tools that work as hard as you do.

Technical Specifications

To choose a good mallet hammer, you must know the technical aspects. Do not worry about hard details. Fortec has made it simple for everyone to understand. 

Material: At Fortec, mallet instruments are built with premium stainless steel. This is a new way of saying that it will not rust or break down. It can pass through washing again and again and stay strong and shiny. The head is made from silicone or rubber. This soft head helps your patients feel comfortable. It also protects other dental tools. 

Size and Feel: Our mallet instrument is 19cm long. This length is almost the same as a butter knife. It can fit in your palm. The handle design is ergonomic. It means it will fit your hand well. Your fingers will not hurt even after long procedures. 

Weight and Balance: The mallet has a balanced weight. It means it has fair and even distribution. It will not feel heavy on one side. When you tap chisels or wax carvers, you can control the force you apply. No sudden hard hits or no weak taps.

Cleaning: Sterilize this mallet in an autoclave without any problem. An autoclave is a machine that uses hot steam to kill germs. You may have some dental tools that cannot go in there. But this one can. Which means it is safe, clean, and ready for the next session.

Which Mallet is Right for You?

You might look over the internet for options and feel confused. That is okay. Let us make it simple for you.

Pick a single-headed mallet if…

You do one main job every day. For example, you place implants, or you only remove teeth. You need only one head. It should be simple to use, strong enough, and easy to clean.

Pick a double-ended mallet if…

Every patient needs a different treatment. One, you need to do bone grafting. The next day, you are fixing a broken tooth. A double-ended mallet gives you two options in one tool. Keeps your tray spacious for more work. 

Pick a side-arm mallet if…

You need to reach tight spots. Back teeth. Crowded areas. A regular mallet might feel too big. A side-arm mallet is shaped differently. It lets you tap exactly where you want, without hitting other teeth or tools.

Still not sure?

Here is a simple rule: buy the same mallet that matches your chisel set. If you use Mead chisels, buy the Mead mallet. If you use a different brand, ask us. We will help you pick.

And remember — you can always call or email us before you buy. We would rather answer one question than send back ten wrong tools.
