    Sledge Hammers

    Demolish material, form metal, and drive punches, chisels, and masonry drills. For demolition work, choose a hammer with a face that's harder than your workpiece. Longer and heavier hammers deliver greater impact.

    Dead Blow Sledge Hammers

    These hammers have a head loaded with metal shot for added weight and a controlled impact with minimal rebound. A fluorescent orange color makes them easy to see. Use them to demolish material, form metal, and drive punches, chisels, and masonry drills. All have a long handle and heavy head to deliver a powerful strike. Made from polyurethane rubber, the faces resist oil and solvents and won't crack under high impact. The hardness of the faces is similar to that of a tire tread.

    Mallets

    Drive chisels and strike work without damaging its surface. To avoid marring, choose a mallet with faces that are softer than your workpiece. Lighter weight mallets are good for tapping work into place and driving a chisel to make small cuts. Use heavier weight mallets when assembling joints, dislodging stuck parts, and making aggressive cuts with a chisel. Longer mallets allow for more powerful swings.

    Nonsparking Blacksmiths' Hammers

    The faces and head are made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, so these tools inhibit sparking and are nonmagnetic and corrosion resistant. They satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Use the flat end of the head to strike metal, concrete, and stone; the wedge-shaped end is for shaping and bending metal. These tools are also known as cross-peen hammers. A textured grip provides slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Fiberglass Hammer Handles.
    Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.
