The 3 lbs. Double-face Sledge Hammer has a drop forged, heat treated and tempered carbon steel sledge head with dual machined striking faces and chamfers. The 14 inch hammer handle is solid pultruded fiberglass made with thousands of fiberglass strands and a unique resin making it super strong and resistant to weather, chemicals and insects (unlike most wooden handles). Ergonomic non-slip grip reduces arm strain due to less squeeze and gripping effort required. The Sledge Hammer can be used for any heavy duty application requiring use of force.
