- Brass heads are great for striking metal stamps: Brass is softer than steel, which helps keep your stamps from being damaged, and brass has no "bounce back" so helps prevent blurred stamped images. Note: It's normal for brass heads to dent.
- Plastic mallets, nylon heads, and rawhide mallets are for smoothing deformed metal, or shaping metal (including around a mandrel) without marring it.
- Steel heads: for directly texturing and shaping metal sheet, blanks and wire.
