Wilton B.A.S.H 30" Sledge Hammer, 20 Lb Head (22030)

Product Information

I am looking to replace a couple of China no name sledge hammers that I sent off to the auction the other day. A sledgehammer is a robust tool with a large, flat head surface and a long handle, great for gathering the momentum needed in a swing for heavy duty construction or demolition work. I could probably swing this thing at concrete all day for a year and it'd look brand new at the end of it. The 16 is my go to for setting cable wedges on the draglines, but the short handled 12lb works dandy for any work where the 16 is uncomfortable to swing due to mass or handle length, actually cut the handle down to about 30ish". International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.

It features an unbreakable steel-core handle technology to prevent breaking during overstrikes, making it ideal for demolition applications. The head will not become loose, as steel bars are locked with a steel plate on top of the hammerhead, ensuring the head will never get dislodged.Genuine second growth American Hickory moisture controlled, machine-gauged to precise dimensions for a perfect fit with weather-resistant clear lacquer finish. I also think the wise ones saying that accuracy goes down based on the weight increase is probably true, even for big brutes.

I have looked at lots of sledges, I am pretty set in my decision on the Wilton line, they seem to be built the way I would build a hammer.I know there's an urge to feel macho and swing a giant hammer, but you'll get more done with one that's easier to swing. In a professional environment you shouldn't be using a sledge hammer unless you're breaking rocks of course.
