An extra-heavy duty post makes this hefty tool perform exceptionally well as a hand-held dolly. At the same time, it multi-functions like a traditional T-dolly.
The Handy T is especially helpful when working with a large piece of metal that requires a curved edge. It's also perfect when working in tight or confined spaces. We've found the Handy T invaluable in our shop for hood scoop projects and any time 're-forming' is needed (for example, around weld areas.)

2" dia. Bossing Mallet, Designed by Ron Fournier.
Use with a shot / sand bag to shape metal ~ the handle won't strike the edge of your work piece!
Deep reach makes forming deep bowl shapes quick and easy.
Mallets are made of non-marring plastic for long life, with sturdy hickory handles.
Weight: 11.7 oz, Small Radius: 1/2", Large Radius: 2-1/4", Overall head length 7"
This Bossing Mallet is ideal for use with aluminum or steel, and is considered a "medium duty" mallet.
After years of frustration with the mallets commonly available, (often made for other trades) Ron decided to have custom metal shaping Bossing Mallets made to his design and specifications.
These mallets have unique radii and an extra deep "reach" measured between the face of the mallet and the handle. This deep reach makes forming bowl shapes quick and easy.
