Sledge hammer with 34" Fiberglass handle PR1600FG

Quick Overview

• 16# double-faced sledge hammer with a fiberglass handle.
• Forged from tool steel.
• Striking faces are precision machined with proper radius and chamfer.
• Heat Treated after machining for increased depth of hardness. (Many makers show a turned striking face. This may look more attractive but means they cut off hardened material, leaving less depth.)
• Heat treatment process produces fine grain structure and RC 45-54 (Rockwell for safety and toughness).
• Clear lacquer finish on head to deter rust.
• 36" fiberglass handle, "jacketed style". (Polymer is injection molded around fiberglass pultrusion, similar to traditional wooden shape).
• Handle is epoxy bonded to bare metal in the eye detail, creating an extremely strong chemical and mechanical bond.
• Meets or exceeds ASME B107.54-2001.
