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

Product Information

Another question for you guys, if I am using it for more repair work, rather than demo, should I get a soft faced style? You want something massive enough that its weight dropping does most of the work, light enough that you can lift it as many times as necessary without exhausting yourself. 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. The 16 is my go to for setting cable wedges on the draglines, but the short handled 12lb works dandy for any work where the 16 is uncomfortable to swing due to mass or handle length, actually cut the handle down to about 30ish".

The energy argument seems right until I use something heavier and the mass/inertia just seems to take care of the job. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.Wilton Tools 22030 BASH sledge hammer is designed for use in demolition, construction and heavy-duty tasks. This subreddit is temporarily private as part of a joint protest to Reddit's recent API changes, which breaks third-party apps and moderation tools, effectively forcing users to use the official Reddit app. In a professional environment you shouldn't be using a sledge hammer unless you're breaking rocks of course. Strouty I think 20 is too much, in fact 12 is probably as heavy as I would go nobody swings a really heavy sledge anymore.

I'm actually shocked there hasn't been a post yet from someone claiming to have easily used a 20 pounder when they were in kindergarten or some such nonsense.

I used every thing from the one handed sledge hammer, '4 pounder', to the heavier 20 lb sledge hammer. Great for driving in stakes, heavy demolition work in construction like fracturing stone and concrete, driving fence posts, rebar work and bending or shaping metal.

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).The powerful force you can generate is also suitable for demolishing brick and studwork walls as well as driving home stakes. That said, I’m 6’3” and a bit overweight at mid 230s, I would not recommend this product for those smaller in stature. This 20 lb sledge hammer is equipped with an anti-vibe tapered neck to absorb shock loads and vibrations for reduced operator fatigue.
