    Hi all, Having purchased a couple of Alan Revere's books, most
    recently "The Art of Jewelry Making" (which is great and highly
    recommended to all), I've noticed his reference to the "dead blow
    mallet".  I decided to look into purchasing one and have found only
    two suppliers (Rio Grande and Gesswein) that offer them.  I also did
    some looking in the archives and found one posting a few months back
    that did not recommend the Rio Grande product.  Can anyone else offer
    any advice as to the advantage/disadavantage of this tool and, if
    recommended, a good supplier?  Thanks.  Jim
