Wilton B.A.S.H 16" Sledge Hammer, 4 Lb Head (20416)

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

Great hammer. Brilliant handle to get a grip on.

Use this hammer everyday at work. Put it through abuse. Longest lasting hammer we have had.

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.

I just tried my new 16 inch sledge hammer to split some firewood with a wedge and also with a standing splitter with ring. Result is there is a huge difference between a 14 inch and a 16 inch sledge even though they both have a 4 lb. heads. I am very pleased with it even though it was a little pricey but those two inches matter greatly with the impact force. The hammer looks well built and sturdy and the larger wood chunks have no chance of not splitting. Very much fun.
