Rockpegs - which hammer?

Morning all

Apologies if this has been covered before but I'm looking for recommendations on mallets please :-) .  Our rubber mallet has seen better days and I am debating what to replace it with.  In the motorhome we only used a storage tent for the bikes and sometimes used our wind-out awning, so it wasn't the end of the world if we had trouble getting pegs in. But we've just ordered an air porch awning for our caravan, and as we generally stay on hardstanding I want to be sure we've got the right thing for the job. I was reading about dead blow hammers and wondered if they might be a good choice, as the guidelines for the awning suggest pegging the rear corner pegs just under the caravan but I don't want to damage the van with rebound on hard ground.  Any suggestion's gratefully received.

Two lb hammer (wooden shaft) to drive in - ancient mole grip to extract.

Why do some hardstandings have a four inch layer of concrete under the gravel ?

Bag of sparks for the grinder please 

What colour ? There's a choice of three
