Either a genuine pigcticker, or an early shipwright's type mortise 
chisel (with a beer mug socket!)
 Weighs in well past twice, anything you are likely to buy from a 
catalog. Twice.
 Made expressly for this type punishment, keeps on tickin'.
 
  Gee, you know it's just too bad featherweight anemic mallets are all 
you can buy for any price.
If only someone made something small enough to hold comfortably in your 
hand but wickedly powerful, and yet still able to deliver a blow soft 
enough not to smash a wooden handle to smithereens.
  It's just altogether a shame.  ;-)
     yours, Scott
