Wilton WIL20412 4 Lb. Head, 12 in. BASH Sledge Hammer

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.

Strong, durable, great balance, will stand on its own head, amazing handgrip. Best buy for the dollar Wilton is #1 second to none hands down. I should also mention that Amazon sold me this hammer used for $72.00 less then a new one but i swear this hammer is brand new not a scratch or ding in the face of the hammer. Handle looked unused and original paint was flawless. I wanted to buy the 20 lbs hammer but at 64 years old I need to be careful lol

Item showed up and is not a 20 lb sledge hammer, it is only a small 14 lb hammer

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!
