A gavel is a small ceremonial mallet commonly made of hardwood, typically fashioned with a handle. It can be used to call for attention or to punctuate rulings and proclamations and is a symbol of the authority and right to act officially in the capacity of a presiding officer. It is often struck against a sound block, a striking surface typically also made of hardwood, to enhance its sounding qualities.
The judge hammer is a tool used by judges to help them make decisions. It is a small, handheld hammer that has a gavel on one end and a mallet on the other. The judge hammer is used to bang the gavel when making a ruling, and to strike the mallet when announcing a verdict.
