Wilton B.A.S.H 12" Sledge Hammer, 4 Lb Head (20412)

Best hammer I've ever used. Had original for 5 years. Still beating stuff with it. Got another for a back up because other People borrow the original. Probably would buy a third. Probably will become a family heirloom.

Perfect hammer for ironwork. The weight, balance and 16" handle make it an excellent choice for your tool belt. Safety lanyard hole in handle is a nice touch too Edit: Been using this since September 2015, a lot. As an ironworker, I’ve had to have a few washers welded onto my belt which definitely compromises the way the steel rods in the handle and the rubber hold. That being said this is still the best sledge I’ve used. My handle near the head has cracked (I would assume largely due to the heat of the welding screwing the rubber up) and a few hairline cracks mid way. Also if you’re wondering if a 4 lb hammer is too light for ironwork, it’s not. Talking to other guys on my crew, everyone agrees it feels as heavy as a 6lb (probably the steel pins and heavy rubber handle) and it has great balance. Great for tight places too. I recently got a great price on their 6lb hammer and it feels like it’s 8-10lbs

Óimo design. Seu cabo oferece uma pegada firme e segura, transmitindo robustez e confiança no manuseio.

So, I needed a good way to 'start' splitting wedges into hardwood rounds so I could get splitting them into firewood. Trying to get wedges to 'stick' so you can whack them hard without them flying when you whack 'em hard is pretty important...flying wedge is not good for safety! Trying to get wedges to get started with a large sledge is actually pretty difficult due to how heavy and unwieldy they are, I needed a good mini sledge, and this one is the ticket! I already own the 10 lb 36" version of this maul - Wilton 21036 10 lb. BASH Sledge Hammer with 36-in Unbreakable Handle . As with the 10lb version, this is tough and rugged. I smash it in to wedges until they are firmly in place, then finish the job with the 10lb maul. Works great! After splitting up about 20 cords of wood, this is still in good shape, handle has great grip, and handle is firmly attached to the head. No notable damage. Great!

Used and abused this hammer as an iron worker driving bullpins and everything in its path. Fantastic and true to its name unbreakable. Worth every dollar. It’ll outlast 20 wood handle hammers easy.
