Stop wasting money on splintered wooden handles and cracked fiberglass sledges. The Groz Sledge Hammer with patented Indestructible Handle is engineered for tradespeople who demand a tool that lasts. Four spring steel bars run the length of the handle and lock into the 8 lb forged steel head with steel locking plates, while a special bonding process keeps head and handle permanently united.The Heavy Duty head is forged from special steel and induction case hardened to 50-58 HRC, certified to BS 876 and SANS 387:2014. Use it for heavy demolition, fracturing stone and concrete, driving stakes and fence posts, rebar work, railroads, automotive applications, and bending or shaping metal.
