Estwing 4-Pound Hard Face Sledge Hammer — 16-Inch Fiberglass Handle, 50-55 HRC

Powerful, reliable performance for heavy-duty tasks

The Estwing 4-Pound Hard Face Sledge Hammer combines a precision-forged head with a rugged fiberglass handle, built for demanding jobs like stake driving, rebar installation, and stone work. The head is induction hardened to 50-55 HRC, providing staying power through repeated impacts while resisting deformation and wear. The balance between weight and momentum helps you deliver confident blows without excessive effort.

Designed for tough environments, the 16-inch handle is dual-injected with over 70% fiberglass, delivering stiffness and durability while helping to dampen vibrations. The textured rubber overlay offers a secure, comfortable grip in two-handed use, and the thicker section beneath the striking face adds overstrike protection to guard against mis-hits and tool damage.
