Wilton B.A.S.H 30" Sledge Hammer, 20 Lb Head (22030)

Product Information

pound hammer is gonna be real awkward to swing unless it's underhand in my opinion, I'm short though so this might not apply to you. Wilton Tools 22030 BASH sledge hammer is designed for use in demolition, construction and heavy-duty tasks.

Use the tools that work the best for the job at hand and choose the tool that will best get the job done quickly and effectively. I know what you are saying about weight, I feel confident in swinging a 10 without any trouble for a while. I think my old ones were a tad light, but I did not weigh them and there was nothing on the head to show weight. I used every thing from the one handed sledge hammer, '4 pounder', to the heavier 20 lb sledge hammer.Rule of thumb - if you've ever played the classic carnival game where you whack the pad to ring the bell, the general weight of those mallets is the typical maximum you can tolerate swinging. I’m positive I would have broken the head off a wood handled sledge with the job I did today (having done that a couple times previous on other jobs with a lighter sledge and a splitting axe). Sledge hammers are suitable for heavy pounding tasks, including breaking through masonry or drywall, fracturing concrete or stone and dislodging trapped objects.

I owned a 10 pounder when I was a six-two, 275-pound weightlifter, and swinging that thing from over my shoulder for more than ten minutes forced me to take a long break a catch my breath.In fact, I don't see any real evidence of the head deforming either (the head on my 16 pound hammer has noticeably deformed over time). This 20 lb sledge hammer has a long handle and a large flat head to deliver powerful blows to concrete, wood and steel. The size of the head allows additional force to be applied and distributed over a wide area with a variety of head weights available to suit the task at hand.
