The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The VAUGHAN 770-RM2W is a rubber mallet with a 20-ounce listed weight and a wood handle, priced at $17.35. It holds a 4.6-star rating, and while it has only 86 reviews so far, demand of 100 units per month keeps it above the buyer-interest floor.
Vaughan is a long-standing name in striking tools, and the 770-RM2W reflects that with a substantial 20-ounce head. The rubber face lets you drive and seat parts without denting them, and the extra mass compared with lighter mallets gives more authority on stubborn fits. The spec data does not list a head diameter or overall length.
At $17.35 this sits in the mid-range for rubber mallets, above bargain options but reasonable for a 20-ounce tool from a respected brand. For assembly, furniture work, and general tapping that needs a bit more weight, it is a sensible step up.

Performance notes
The 20-ounce listed weight gives this mallet more punch than the lighter rubber models in its class, useful for seating tight joints and assembly. The rubber face keeps surfaces unmarked, and the wood handle is standard for the type. No head size is specified, so judge fit by the weight figure.
What buyers say
With a 4.6-star average across 86 reviews and ongoing demand of 100 units a month, early owners are positive. Buyers choosing this over a cheaper mallet typically want the heavier head and the Vaughan name, and the rating supports that those expectations hold up.
