Walden Glove Break-In Tool Set

Stop settling for a mediocre pocket. The Walden Glove Break-In Suite brings the art of the Japanese "Shaper" directly to your workbench. Crafted from premium hardwoods and designed for serious ballplayers, these tools allow you to bypass the gimmicks (no more steaming or ovens) and break in your glove the way the pros do: with labor, leverage, and precision.

Whether you are trying to loosen a stiff heel, deepen a shallow pocket, or flare the fingers just right, this collection gives you the mechanical advantage to manipulate the leather without damaging its structural integrity.

The Collection Includes:

The Glove Hammer: A T-shaped powerhouse designed to lengthen finger stalls and pound the heel and web for maximum flexibility.

The Signature Mallet: Teardrop-shaped and perfectly weighted to mimic the impact of a ball, creating a deep, consistent pocket that swallows fly balls.

The Breakin' Ball: Solid wood spheres used to firmly shape the pocket during storage or specifically target tight spots in the palm.

Why We Chose Walden: Walden Glove tools are known for their impeccable balance and finish. With wrapped handles for grip and laser-etched branding, these aren't just tools, they are heirloom-quality pieces that look as good on your shelf as they perform on your leather.
