"What do people think about a 32 once rubber mallet ..."

I think the hammer will bounce off the knockoff and smite thee in the 
face.  I haven't tried a dead blow, but in a pinch I used a softwood 
block and a small sledgehammer to tighten a knockoff, and it flattened 
and marred the ear of the knockoff, and I think a dead blow might do the 
same.

I'd stick with lead hammers (copper may be OK, but I haven't used one 
and I believe copper is a bit harder than lead).
