Overview
The Rubber DXX-ZTH-24-12-23 is a single-piece mallet priced at $5.99. Its listed weight of 0.17 kilograms makes it the lightest mallet in this batch by a significant margin. Both the head and handle are listed as rubber material. It carries a 4.5-star average from 266 reviews with 300 units sold monthly.
At 0.17 kilograms, this mallet generates far less impact force than standard 16 oz (roughly 0.45 kg) or heavier options. The all-rubber construction provides a non-marring strike and a firm but flexible grip. No head diameter or length is listed in the product data.
For tasks where a standard mallet would cause damage, such as tapping decorative tiles, working with thin stock, or furniture assembly with fragile finishes, the extremely light weight and all-rubber build of the DXX-ZTH-24-12-23 is a logical choice at the lowest price in this batch.

Performance notes
At 0.17 kilograms, the Rubber DXX-ZTH-24-12-23 is designed for low-force precision striking. The all-rubber construction is the defining feature: both head and handle are rubber, which limits transmitted vibration but also limits the force a user can generate. This is intentional for delicate applications.
What buyers say
266 reviews at 4.5 stars with 300 monthly buyers indicate the mallet meets expectations for its intended use case. Buyers choosing a $5.99 option are likely aware of its limitations and find it adequate for light work.
Both the head material and handle material are listed as rubber.
