A mallet is a tool used for imparting a force on another object, often made of rubber or sometimes wood, that is smaller than a maul or beetle, and usually has a relatively large head. The term is descriptive of the overall size and proportions of the tool, and not the materials it may be made of, though most mallets have striking faces that are softer than steel.

Mallets are used in various industries, such as upholstery work, and a variety of other general purposes. It is a tool of preference for wood workers using chisels with plastic, metal, or wooden handles, as they give a softened strike with a positive drive.

Surgical mallets are used in several surgical procedures that involve either scraping, slicing, or cutting of the bone in orthopedic procedures. The mallet is used to give controlled tap or pressure on a chisel or osteotomy. Modern day mallets are generally made of stainless steel to provide a strong, non-corrosive surface with metal, nylon, or Teflon. Surgical mallets are used to assist in driving the nail or screw into the bone during orthopedic surgery, ENT procedures, or neurosurgery. Surgical mallets are heavy objects with flat facings.
