What are mauls and punners?

Punners are large, but easy to handle tools with durable, compact heads that are used to level out areas of earth, sand, landfill, tarmac and more. Fencing mauls are hammer-like tools with oversized heads and excellent shock resistance features.

When are mauls and punners used?

Punners are most commonly used before building work, where large areas need to be compacted and levelled before work can commence. They are also used after construction tasks are complete to flatten out uneven areas. Fencing mauls are used to drive fencing posts into the ground, ensuring durability and longevity. In turn, fencing mauls are crucial for providing the good security that fencing is known for in a variety of environments.

Considerations when choosing mauls and punners

• Size - Consider the size of punner or maul before purchasing. It needs to be long enough for your needs and heavy enough to do the task well without being too heavy to lift
• Material - Think about the materials you want to compact or hammer in. Different punners and mauls are designed for use with different materials, so consider the task you want to perform before purchasing
• Head Weight - The head weight impacts control and balance, consider the optimal weigh to achieve the effectiveness and precision of your strikes
• Action Type - Ramming is used for high force impacts that drive objects or break barriers. Compacting increases the material density and stability, whilst pounding is used for repetitive impacts to shape or demolish materials

Mauls and punners jargon buster

We want to make it easy for you, so here are some key terms that will help you understand the range and applications a little better:
What is an oversized head?
An oversized head on a tool means that the head is disproportionately large in comparison to other aspects of the tool. This is a purposeful design feature, making the force of the impact, in terms of a fencing maul for example, stronger while a thin handle makes the tool more lightweight and easier to swing.

FAQs

Mauls and punners are put under stress from usage, are they durable enough to last for a long time?
As punners and mauls are meant to be pressed hard and swung against tough materials, every aspect of the tools, from handles to heads have been manufactured to reduce shock to the user. This not only makes for easier usage, but also a long product lifespan.
