    About Hammers
    industrial info icon

    Hit the nail on the head with the right hammer; choose by main feature, material, and size.

    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.

    20" and longer hammers can be swung with both hands to deliver a more powerful strike than shorter hammers.
    10" to 16" long hammers are also known as engineers', drilling, club, and crack hammers. Use them for light demolition and tasks where longer hammers don't have room to swing.
    Steel faces are the hardest metal faces we offer. Use them on stone, concrete, and hardened nails.

    Nonsparking Sledge 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 them to demolish material, form metal, and drive punches, chisels, and masonry drills. For demolition work, ensure that the workpiece is softer than the metal faces. Longer and heavier hammers deliver greater impact. All have a textured or ribbed grip for slip resistance. For replacement handles, see Fiberglass Hammer Handles.
    Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.
