About Hammers

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.

Round Steel Face

Hickory Handle with Plain Grip

Steel Handle with

Textured Grip

Ribbed Grip

Polypropylene Handle

Rubber Handle

Textured Grip

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.

Hickory Handle—Hickory handles resist vibration.

Steel Handle—Steel handles are stronger than wooden handles but have less vibration resistance.

Fiberglass Handle Core—Handles with a fiberglass core resist breakage if you miss your mark.

Textured Grip—Textured grips provide slip resistance.

Ribbed Grip—Ribbed grips provide slip resistance.

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.

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 with control and strike workpieces without damaging their surface.

When choosing a mallet, consider the face material, overall length, and head weight. To avoid marring, the face material should be softer than your workpiece. Use shorter, lighter mallets for tapping parts into place or making small cuts with a chisel. Use longer, heavier mallets for assembling joints, dislodging stuck parts, and making aggressive chisel cuts.

Bronze Face

Bronze faces are often used on non-ferrous metal, such as aluminum, nickel, or titanium.
