Probably the highest quality sledgehammer I've ever used. It's very well built. I could probably rock this thing on concrete all day for a year and it would end up looking brand new. The handle design is fantastic too, it cuts like a riving knife into one of the gnarliest big fir trees I've ever seen and I don't feel any reverberation. To be honest I was amazed. However, the thing is very heavy. I'm used to swinging 8-12 pound hammers and figured the 20 pound hammers wouldn't make much of a difference and I couldn't be more wrong. This thing is HEAVY. It's almost too heavy to use (for a 6ft 220lb guy in pretty good shape). I laughed and handed it to my wife (who is much smaller) and she could barely lift it over her shoulder. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't have above average strength or uses an assist.
