When working with a chisel, you sometimes need to use something to force it into place. This is the tool that you should have on-hand to do the trick.

A mallet is a smaller, lighter hammer. Its lightweight design makes it much easier to use on more sensitive areas when you don't want to damage the surface or want better control. Many professional woodworkers prefer a wooden mallet, but a rubber mallet will actually work just as well with a chisel.
