A regular hammer plus a block of wood, hunk of plastic, hunk of rubber, and a brass or aluminum punch equals a lot of different specialty non marring mallets. Just saying. Also in favor of block of wood is that has two durometers (parallel vs perpendicular to grain), and two blocks can make any vice a soft jaw one.
