What really sets this sledgehammer apart from other hammers on the market is the handle. Most sledgehammers have a wooden or fiberglass handle that breaks after a certain amount of force. Instead, steel rods wrapped in thick rubber run through the handle. It weighs about twice as much as a regular ballpoint pen, but it literally doesn't break; In fact, there are videos on YouTube of people trying to destroy it by running a bulldozer over it. It also feels more balanced, is easier to grip and absorbs vibrations better than other hammers. It also looks cool and feels good in the hand. Whether you're smashing a wall, preparing for a zombie apocalypse, or just using it for training, this hammer will definitely get the job done. When opening the package, just make sure you're not standing next to expensive fragile items, or you'll suddenly have the urge to smash something.
