Did its job well. Was worth the price.

It is a plastic mallet, indeed. It’s pretty light — good for backpacking, I suppose — but a bit too light to really whack those tent stakes into the ground. You have to use a lot of strength to make up for its lack of heft. If you’re camping next to your car, I’d bring a heavier hammer (I will next time).

Worked well banging in the tent pegs. It’s also light and thin so it fits in our tent bag. Would recommend it. 😀

This hammer came in very handy while camping. Drives the tent stakes in and impressed others with its ability to pull them out. Light weight, sturdy, and does not take up any room. Only complaint is that wielding it does not give me the power of Thor.

I admit that I was skeptical when the mallet arrived. It’s so lightweight, I didn’t think it would be terribly useful, but I was wrong. It works like a champ to pound in ground stakes, and the slots in the handle worked beautifully to get them back up out of the ground. As for being lightweight? A total plus. Who needs more heavy gear to lug around, right?

Mallet seems alright, but it is not new as advertised. Both faces of the mallet have obviously been used, as they show significant scarring. This will not effect the mallet’s usefulness, but when I pay for a new item, I expect a new item.

I was very surprised by this purchase. The mallet is not metal nor heavy so I was skeptical about its application. I used it in very hard ground, out in the desert with lots of rocks and etc that makes staking very difficult. Its function was incredible and worked better than my metal hammer — especially in the regard that it did not damage the stakes from hard hits. It also made getting the stakes out of the ground easier with the holes in the mallet.

didn’t think that it would be up to the job as it’s very light but works great

This rather small, lightweight plastic tent stake mallet by Coleman is just the right size to either stuff into or hang onto your backpack. Although small in size, the plastic mallet delivers a potent punch strong enough to get tent stakes through most ground conditions. This petite plastic tent stake mallet is perfect for backpacking as its small size and lightweight factors are clearly superior to larger and heavier tent stake mallets such as the Coghlan’s/Texsport Plastic Tent Stake Mallet, or even worse, the Coleman/Coghlan’s Rubber Tent Stake Mallet with Hook.
Although some of my fellow backpackers skip any tent stake mallet and use only a rock to pound in their backpacking tent stakes, I always bring my Coleman Plastic Tent Stake Mallet on backpacking/camping trips as it has many versatile uses such as a tent stake mallet, a pounding and prying tool; and if needed, as a nonlethal weapon for protection.

Light. Strong. But pricy.

Very robust poly mallet to drive pegs and stakes. Provides the proper leverage and size to pound small and large tent pegs with minimal effort. If you opt to pound in metal pegs you may want to place something in between the stake head and mallet head to prevent the mallet surface from being damaged. It will also dampen the plastic “pinging” you get from a poly hammer head contacting another hard surface. Your primary concern should be with ability to easily drive the peg into the ground and not so much making direct contact with stake head and mallet head.
