Estwing 4-Pound Hard Face Sledge Hammer - 16-Inch Hickory Handle, Ergonomic Grip, Durable Construction for Demolition & Stake Driving

This is a superb quality tool. It looks good, feels good, and perfroms well. Two thumbs up!

Discovered Estwing on Amazon and have begun regularly buying their products as a result of their excellent performance and value.Bought this sledge to replace a traditional, hickory-handle, sledgehammer that finally splintered into pieces after years of use.The Estwing 8 lb. sledge has just been fantastic. We are using this hammer to split heavy oak for a wood stove and the hammer is a noticeable improvement after years of using a hickory handle, also with an 8 lb. head.The Estwing transfers less force/vibration to the hand, seems to require less work/force to split the >8" rounds, and when there are misses and wedge strikes, while the rubber around the sledge head gets torn up, the fiberglass handle underneathe just sheds the hits, so we expect to have this hammer for many, many years, whereas a hickory handle would have likely already been destroyed.Finally, the cost of one of these Estwing hammers off Amazon is about $10.00 cheaper, minimum, compared to our local retailer's offerings. And free shipping. That's incredible. No idea how those big box home improvement stores manage to stay open.And all of our Estwing tools were not made in China. Another huge plus.

Not much to say, it's a hammer. Built like a truck.

Build quality is excellent, size was perfect for what I needed with weight balance being excellent. I used this specifically for putting in a tree support stake and it was perfect for the job and easy to use. This will be a great addition to my toolbox.

Great product!

I was looking for one to last the test of time. I'll put it through the paces and send another review.We're pounding out Sandpoint wells.It appears sturdy, has a nice grip. It's attractive, but function and longevity are what matters.

Shipping took longer than estimated. But the product is as good a quality and settles into a price point perfectly for a long-handle sledge under 10lbs. Will be perfect for splitting logs with a wedge or driving an axe head through a cut. A maul would be better for firewood-only jobs, but this can be used elsewhere as any sledge. Handle and head seem indestructible. Would recommend.

Perfect to get big pieces of wood split in 2 and then again to make 4 nice pieces. Perfect grip and weight to let it rip on those huge pieces that are 10 inches in diameter
