    I would as a matter of course. Anything that reduces wear on your cutting tools is a good thing!
    (also easier to punch through)

    The rubber it came with is for storage it isn't the "whacking mat"
    I did get the mat they show in their online demos which is quite good
    but better was switching to a heavier mallet to hit it with
