A 42 mm rawhide face and hickory handle give this mallet a clearly specified striking format
The selected WUTA mallet has a 42 mm face, making the working size explicit rather than leaving it to the overall head dimensions. The head is described as rolled water-buffalo rawhide impregnated with shellac, on a hickory handle secured with screws. That construction is the main reason to compare it with the polished steel WUTA hammer: they present different striking materials, so one should not be assumed to suit every tool that accepts the other.
This is one mallet in the 42 mm selection. The 48 mm version is a separate option, not a second supplied head. Overall dimensions are listed as 9.29 × 3.56 × 1.88 inches and item weight as 295 g; those describe the complete tool rather than the face diameter. Realeather’s mini maul is another leathercraft striking format to consider if the maul grip and form are your preference, but its conflicting weight descriptions should be resolved before choosing by mass alone.

Your questions about this product
Are both 42 and 48 mm heads included?
No. This ASIN selects one 42 mm mallet; 48 mm is another variant.
Is shellac something I must add?
No. The seller describes the supplied rawhide as already impregnated with shellac; no treatment recipe is specified here.
Can it replace any steel hammer?
No universal substitution is established. Choose the striking material required by the actual tool and task.
