Usage Note
Mazo denotes a heavy mallet or sledgehammer used for striking — the tool of a blacksmith, carpenter, or auctioneer. It differs from martillo (hammer), which is lighter and used for nails, and from maza (mace, ceremonial club). The diminutive macillo refers specifically to the small felt hammer inside a piano.
Examples
"Golpeó la estaca con el mazo."
